Art Deco Champagne Ice Bucket, Vintage French Chromed Stainless Steel

A beautiful vintage French champagne ice bucket in a classic Art Deco inspired style, made from chromed stainless steel and marked Inox LR 18 C. The simple cylindrical shape is decorated with fine horizontal lines around the lower half, a detail often seen in machine-age barware from the 1930s to 1950s. The sculptural ribbed side handles give the piece a distinctive look and make it easy to carry, while the polished chrome finish reflects light beautifully. It comfortably holds a champagne or wine bottle with ice and makes a stylish addition to a bar cart, dinner table or celebration. Vintage stainless steel barware like this became popular in France during the mid-century period, valued for its durability and sleek modern appearance. This piece has a good solid weight at around 1.4 kg and feels sturdy and well made. It remains in good vintage condition, with some light surface marks and signs of age visible in the photos, consistent with normal use over time. These gentle signs of wear add to its authentic vintage character while still making it a lovely and practical piece for entertaining.
