Art Deco Christofle Gallia Silver Plate Champagne or Wine Cooler, France, circa 1930
A striking Art Deco wine or champagne cooler by Christofle, part of their renowned Gallia collection, France, circa 1930. This octagonal silver-plated form exemplifies the geometric precision and modernist sensibility of the period, balanced with subtle warmth through its sculpted wood handles and matching wood base trim.
The Gallia line was introduced by Christofle around 1900 as a creative division devoted to high-quality silvered metal designs produced by leading artists and designers of the early twentieth century. Its hallmark, a stylized emblem often accompanied by a model number, here 0320, identifies the piece as part of this innovative series.
With its faceted surfaces, refined craftsmanship, and engraved Art Deco monogram, this cooler captures the spirit of French luxury entertaining between the wars. Elegant on a sideboard or dining table, it reflects Christofle’s long-standing reputation for combining impeccable design with functionality and timeless appeal.
