Cloisonne Enamel Cooler, Floral Brass French Vintage Blue Champagne bu
A striking and wonderfully decorative French vintage champagne bucket, richly finished in deep peacock blue enamel and adorned with delicate cloisonné-style florals in soft pink and buttery yellow. The hand-applied design of arching stems and leafy sprays is outlined in warm gilt brass, creating a beautiful contrast against the textured enamel ground. The wide flared rim, pedestal foot and rounded side handles are all polished brass, giving the piece a lovely weight and presence. It is equally at home chilling a favourite bottle as it is displayed as a statement piece on a bar cart, dining table or mantel. The proportions are generous and elegant, with a pleasing silhouette that feels both classic and romantic – unmistakably European in spirit. The interior is fully brass with a softly aged patina consistent with age and use. There are light surface marks, small areas of wear and gentle rubbing to the brass and enamel, as expected from a well-loved vintage piece, but no major dents or structural issues. The floral decoration remains vibrant and beautifully defined – a charming and practical collector’s piece that carries echoes of French sophistication and Italian flair.
