Aldo Tura - Ice bucket - Brass, Vellum

This ice bucket represents an excellent example of mid-century Italian artistic craftsmanship, a period in which design fused with high cabinetmaking and the working of precious materials. Produced by the historic Milanese manufactory Tura, founded by Aldo Tura, this object perfectly embodies the sophisticated and cultured aesthetic of Italian design of the era. The structure features an elegant cylindrical shape, entirely clad in parchment, a premium finish obtained through the shaping of goat leather, known for its natural texture, unique grain, and its ability to reflect light with warm and enveloping tones. The color contrast between the cream-colored parchment and the gleam of the gilded brass, used for the upper rim, the movable handle, and the joints, gives the piece a striking stage presence, making it not only a useful bar accessory but a true piece of furniture. The brand "Creazione Tura Italy" stamped on the solid wood base is not just a provenance seal, but a genuine guarantee of authenticity that attests to its superior quality, obsessive attention to construction details, and the longevity typical of objects born to endure over time.
