Stunning vintage Champagne cooler made for the house MONTEBELLO.

The cooler is in good condition (see photos), with a rich patina and features a mounted rectangular plaque with the text: Champagne MONTEBELLO Chateau De Mareuil s/Ay, executed in red/white enamel.

Montebello Champagne was produced at Chateau de Mareuil-sur-Aÿ; the company was founded in 1834 by Alfred de Montebello. This highly regarded Champagne was the house choice on the Titanic. Later the name was changed (1892-1969) to Ayala-Montebello.

Heavy professional restaurant/wine bar Champagne cooler from the 1930s/40s, with pure Art Deco handles.
The bottom is stamped by the maker: ARGIT, Made In France.
Argit is an authority in Champagne cooler design and supplies to virtually all the major houses.

A stylish atmospheric eye-catcher on every table, bar, or party, and of course still perfectly usable.
Almost no longer found, making it an exclusive collector’s item.
