This French ice bucket dates to the Art Deco period of the 1930s. The piece comprises a polished silver metal body with a mirrored chrome finish, a flared rim, a pedestal base, a curved swing handle, and a spherical turned wooden knob in brown at the centre of the handle. Measuring 41.2 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 22 cm deep, the generous proportions provide substantial presence for practical use. Today, this decorative vessel serves effectively on a dining table or sideboard top to chill wine and champagne during dinner parties and social gatherings. The vintage condition presents light surface scratches and fox spots upon close inspection, while maintaining an undamaged metal surface without dents, heavy scratching, tarnishing, or pitting.

FAQs

Art Deco barware from the 1930s typically features geometric silhouettes, streamlined forms, and polished metallic finishes such as chrome or nickel plating. Popularised in France, these pieces reflected modern industrial design and the entertaining culture of the period.

French Art Deco ice buckets were primarily crafted from chromium-plated brass or steel, offering a bright, mirror-like finish resistant to tarnishing. Handles often incorporated contrasting accents made from turned hardwood, bakelite, or polished glass.

Authentic 1930s pieces often feature heavy base construction, flared rims, and specific period joinery on handle hinges. Look for makers marks or stamps on the base, minor age-appropriate wear to the chromium plating, and period-correct materials on handle grips.

Place the bucket on a dark wood sideboard, marble bar cart, or dining table centrepiece to highlight its reflective metallic finish. It functions as intended during entertaining or doubles as a striking vessel for floral arrangements.

Clean the surface with warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, drying thoroughly to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive polishes or steel wool, which can scratch or strip the thin layer of chromium plating.
