This pair of WMF restaurant champagne or wine coolers originates from the steam ship SS Rotterdam in the Art Deco style of 1930. The items are formed from silver plated metal with a polished silver finish, comprising a tall, slender silhouette with a flared rim, a curved bowl tapering into a slender stem, and a circular pedestal base. Details include a vertically-oriented arched handle attached by hinges on each side, a smooth high-gloss reflective surface, and stamped manufacturer marks near the rim. Each piece measures 48.2 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 21 cm deep. In a modern interior, these floor-standing coolers find placement in an empty corner of a dining room, bar, or living space to display bottles or function as decorative architectural pedestals. Their metallic sheen and clean geometric profile integrate smoothly into contemporary hospitality-inspired home environments, adding vertical interest and historical character without requiring permanent installation.

Art Deco barware typically features sleek geometric silhouettes, streamlined profiles, and polished metallic finishes reflecting early twentieth-century modernism.

Floor-standing champagne coolers from the 1920s and 1930s are commonly crafted from nickel, brass, or base metal alloys finished with a heavy silver plating.

Authentic WMF silver-plated items usually feature distinct stamped maker marks, such as the ostrich emblem or specific letters indicating silver plating thickness, located near the base or rim.

Floor-standing wine coolers can be placed symmetrically beside a sideboard, dining console, or bar area to add structured metallic accents to an entertaining space.

Clean silver-plated surfaces regularly using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that could strip the plated layer.
