Brass ice cooler from France, in Art Deco style dating to ca. 1950–1960, with an amber-veined body and metal-edged lines, and dimensions 25 × 16 × 16 cm.
Description from the seller
It's an ice bucket that distills that reinterpretation of the Art Deco spirit that was so cultivated in the mid-20th century, when workshops revived elegant geometries and warm materials to create functional objects with decorative presence. The body, with straight lines and balanced proportions, is made from an amber-toned marble-like material, with inner veins that recall alabaster or the luxurious resins used in the thirties. That translucent, warm effect gives it depth and a soft glow that changes with the light.
The metal profiles, thin and precise, frame each edge as if they were the inlays of a high-era piece of furniture, providing contrast and reinforcing the geometric aesthetics so characteristic of Art Deco. The lid, circular and perfectly fitted, repeats the same amber material and crowns it with a metal knob that serves as a small sculptural accent, simple yet bold.
The overall impression is of solidity, elegance, and a very attractive retro vibe: a piece designed to accompany a stylish home bar or sideboard, capable of functioning both as an ice bucket and as a decorative object in its own right. A perfect example of how mid-century design reinterpreted Art Deco luxury with modern materials and an impeccable finish.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
