Elegant French Crystal Ice Bucket with Solid Silver Mount – Minerva 1st Standard (950) – Eugène Lefebvre (1896–1910)

A refined and highly decorative French ice bucket, combining hand-cut crystal with an exquisite solid silver mount and handle, crafted during the Belle Époque period.

The crystal body is of excellent quality, richly cut with vertical fluting and geometric bands, culminating in a beautifully radiating star-cut base that enhances the brilliance of the piece. The clarity and weight of the crystal reflect fine craftsmanship typical of high-end French production.

The upper mount is made of solid silver (Minerva 1st standard, 950/1000) and is finely decorated with embossed floral and foliate motifs, adding a romantic and elegant touch. The swing handle, also in silver, is delicately engraved and perfectly balanced for practical use.

The piece bears:
Minerva hallmark (1st standard – 950 silver)
Silversmith’s mark of Eugène Lefebvre (active circa 1896–1910) – a swan pierced by an arrow with initials EL

This object perfectly embodies the sophistication of the Belle Époque, where functionality meets artistic refinement.
