Crystal and Gilt Champagne Bucket. Circa 1940

This crystal and gilt champagne bucket fully embodies the elegance of mid-20th-century Parisian tableware. The cut crystal captures light in multiple reflections, while the gilt mount gives the piece a precious character and signs the attention paid to finishings.

The art of the table experienced in the 1940s a true refinement, where each service became a setting. Champagne buckets, conceived as decorative objects as much as functional ones, fit within this French tradition of hospitality: they hold the bottle, but they also sign the moment, the table, the house. The marriage of crystal — a noble and luminous material — with gilding refers to a neoclassical grammar dear to Parisian decorators of the interwar period.

With balanced dimensions (Width: 24 cm | Depth: 21 cm | Height: 28 cm), it is as functional as it is decorative, ideal for a set table, a bar, a hotel reception space or an event setting.

A typical Parisian creation of the 1940s whose timeless elegance continues to enchant classical, eclectic and contemporary entertaining settings.
