Champagne Bucket in Chrome Metal of Faceted Form with Panels and Square Handles, Art Deco Style, Circa 1940

This champagne bucket presents a truncated-cone body shaped with cut panels, whose vertical facets catch the light in satin reflections. The slightly flared neck is flanked by two lateral handles of square form, articulated on button attachments, which rhythm the silhouette with a resolutely geometric note.

This faceted treatment of chrome metal and these angular handles belong to the late Art Deco vocabulary, still alive in French tableware of the 1940s, when silversmiths and metalworkers declined buckets and services in architectural forms inherited from the 1930s.

Condition report: Good general condition. Chrome metal with soft patina, micro-scratches and small marks from use inherent to a service object. A timeless reception accessory, to be placed on a bar, a trolley or a festive table.
