This silver-plated wine and champagne cooler dates from the 1930s Art Deco period, designed by Luc Lanel for Christofle in the pattern titled Ondulations. The piece is silver in colour with a highly reflective polished finish. It takes the form of a tapered vessel featuring horizontal ridged bands around the lower body and distinctive stepped lug handles on either side. The surface shows minor wear commensurate with age, and the underside bears maker marks. Standing at 21 cm high, 24.1 cm wide and 18.4 cm deep, it provides a compact yet functional footprint. In a contemporary home, this vessel finds an ideal setting placed atop a sideboard during dining or entertaining occasions, serving as a striking bar accessory or table centrepiece for chilling wine and champagne. The Art Deco glamour aesthetic integrates seamlessly into sophisticated dining rooms, living spaces or home bars, bringing a touch of vintage maritime history to modern interior styling while remaining fully practical for everyday service.

FAQs

Art Deco barware from this era focuses on geometric symmetry, clean lines, and polished metal surfaces, reflecting modern industrial aesthetics and luxury hospitality trends of the 1930s.

Most fine French wine coolers of this period were constructed from heavy brass or nickel alloy base metals, finished with high-grade silver electroplating for durability and shine.

Authentic pieces feature distinct maker marks stamped into the metal, including the makers name, silver-plating quality hallmarks, and often specific model identification numbers or designer credits.

An antique silver cooler works well placed on a dining sideboard, bar cart, or kitchen island, functioning either as a functional chilling vessel or as a decorative centrepiece.

Polish silver-plated barware gently using specialised silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners or dishwasher use to prevent wear to the plated layer.
