Description from the seller
Pair of Vintage French Champagne Buckets - Henri Abelé & De Castellane - Metal - France - 1950-1970
The set consists of:
Champagne Bucket Henri Abelé (Reims), characterized by the historic blue and gold crest of the house founded in 1757. This piece stands out for an extraordinary surface luster and a bright, almost chrome-like finish that beautifully reflects light.
On the external bottom it bears impressed the historic oval hallmark of the prestigious French manufacturer "BOURGUIGNONNE - ALU PUR" with the bottle symbol, certifying its manufacture in pure aluminum of the era.
Champagne Bucket De Castellane (Épernay): Features the iconic front enamel label with the famous red Saint Andrew's cross.
This model boasts its native brushed finish, more satin and matte, with timeless charm. It bears on the external bottom the original mark stamped in a circular punch "MADE IN FRANCE".
Dimensions and Weight:
Height: 20 cm (for both)
Diameter: 20 cm (for both)
Weight Henri Abelé: 430 grams
Weight De Castellane: 522 grams
The buckets are presented in excellent vintage condition.
They show light and normal signs of wear and aging (superficial scratches from rubbing that attest to their historical authenticity in French bistrot settings), but they are structurally perfect, free of major dents or deformations.
Please carefully view the photo gallery, which includes the details of the marks on the bottom and is an integral part of the description.
Professional shipping, tracked and packed with the utmost care to ensure their integrity.
