AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This silver-plated brass ice bucket, typical of the first half of the 20th century, embodies perfectly the refined and geometric aesthetics of the Art Deco style. Its balanced silhouette, with clean lines and harmonious proportions, reflects the pursuit of modernity and sophistication that characterized this movement. The metal, carefully silver-plated, offers a sober, uniform shine that enhances the form without falling into ornamental excess, maintaining that air of discreet luxury so typical of the era.
The side handles, designed with a firm and functional stroke, provide a sculptural touch that blends practicality and elegance. The surface bears a silver hallmark verified by an acid test, which confirms the quality of the plating and the authenticity of the metal treatment. This technical detail, included in the photographs, emphasizes the material value of the piece and its overall good condition.
Despite its age, the ice bucket still holds an impeccable presence: the silvering preserves its lustre, and the design continues to convey that blend of modernity and glamour that defined Art Deco. It is a piece that not only serves its practical function, but also acts as a decorative object with character, capable of adding distinction to a table, a sideboard, or a gathering space.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
