Fabulous French Art Deco Silver Plated Ice Cube Bucket C.1930

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A stylish Art Deco Ice bucket with a striking geometric design. The bucket features sleek, streamlined horizontal ribbing (stries) hugging the rim and base, paired with distinctive tiered, geometric stepped handles. This clean, machine-age look is highly characteristic of French modernist barware from the mid-1930s.

The bucket retains it's original frog or drainer, when ice melts it has a reservoir to rest and keep the ice cubes from sticking together.

The underside is marked PEMJA around a star motif, this has not been identified as such but the exact bucket design is a known modernist pattern created by the famous French silversmith firm Orfèvrerie Vuillermet, which operated out of Lyon, France, during the height of the Art Deco era.

Excellent vintage condition measuring 6 1/4" handle to handle x 4 7/8" x 5 1/4" tall.

This French Art Deco ice bucket dates from the 1930 period and is executed in silver plate with a polished silver colour throughout its tapered body. It displays distinct horizontal ribbed bands of turning at the upper rim and the lower base, alongside stepped, tiered geometric handles mounted on each side of the vessel, and a circular open top exposing the reflective interior. The object stands 13.3 cm high, 15.9 cm wide, and 12.4 cm deep. Such a piece is well suited for modern living as functional barware on a sideboard top during entertaining or simply as a decorative metal accent in a living area or dining space. The surface reflects light brightly and shows subtle signs of use consistent with vintage age, while the substantial walls and geometric styling provide a clear example of modernist French metalwork.

French Art Deco barware from the 1930s is defined by geometric symmetry, clean streamlined forms, and polished metallic finishes reflecting the modern industrial aesthetic of the era.

Ice buckets from this era were commonly crafted from electroplated nickel silver or brass, featuring heavy silver plating and engine-turned or ribbed decorative details.

Authentic pieces usually feature makers marks or purity stamps on the base, appropriate weight consistent with base metals like nickel silver, and subtle age-related wear rather than modern uniform plating.

An Art Deco ice bucket serves as a refined accent piece on a bar cart, sideboard, or console table, holding bar tools, flowers, or remaining functional during entertaining.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could strip the electroplated layer.
