Minor surface wear is visible on the body alongside reflections in the polished metal. It measures 21.59 cm high by 22.86 cm wide and 22.86 cm deep. Today, this piece is suitable for use on a sideboard top during dinner parties or celebrations to chill wine and champagne bottles.

FAQs

French silver-plated champagne buckets gained widespread popularity during the mid-20th century in hotels, restaurants, and private homes as elegant vessels designed to chill sparkling wine directly at the dining table.

These coolers are constructed from a base metal, frequently nickel alloy or brass, which is electroplated with a thin layer of fine silver, featuring cast handles and cold-worked decorative rim borders.

Authentic pieces usually feature manufacturer stamps or electroplate hallmarks near the base or underside, balanced proportions, and expected age signs such as micro-scratching or light silver wear.

Position the piece as a centrepiece on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or dining table, or adapt it as an urn for fresh botanical displays.

Maintain the finish by wiping with a soft cotton cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing pads that strip the plated coating.
