Designed to combine functionality with decorative appeal, it is a striking centerpiece for formal dining or bar display. The bucket features a tall, tapering cylindrical form with a polished silver-plated surface that reflects light beautifully. Two finely sculpted lion head handles, each holding a robust ring, lend a strong neoclassical character while demonstrating high-quality metalworking. The rim is finished with a classic beaded border, adding a subtle yet sophisticated decorative detail. Manufactured in Lyon, France, a historic center of fine craftsmanship, this piece bears the maker’s mark “Roux Marquiand Lyon” along with the silver-plated designation, confirming its origin and authenticity.
