Green Leather and Brass Curved Handle Ice Bucket. Italian Work. V

This ice bucket features a baluster-shaped body entirely covered in dark green leather with visible saddle stitching, mounted on a circular brass base. The domed brass lid, topped with a dark wood handle, fits into a neck also encircled with brass. A large arched handle made of brass, equipped with a turned wood grip, allows for easy transport. The combination of saddle-stitched leather and brass evokes the lifestyle of the 1960s, reminiscent of bar objects by Jacques Adnet or the elegant productions of Aldo Tura; this Italian work reflects the refinement of Transalpine table arts of the time. Condition report: Generally good condition. The leather is healthy with a beautiful deep green hue, and the brass shows a patina of use. A characterful bar accessory for a cabinet of curiosities or an aperitif console.
