Christofle Champagne Bucket Original Unused with Box

Classic and collectible silver-plated champagne bucket created by Christofle. We call the NOS (new old stock), never used includes the original box and label "wine cooler". I would estimate this circa the 1940s. A unique piece with wooden handles and a ribbed design footed bottom. Great to have the original box. Original mark and signature embossed on the underside.

Maison Christofle began in Normandie, France in 1830 and when it was about to reach it’s centennial, it forged ahead with designs that were notably modern, employing designers such as Christian Fjerdingstadt , the Danish artist credited with bringing the company into the Art Deco Period. Exhibiting at the prestigious Paris Exposition des Artes Decoratifs in a beautiful pavilion and garden it shared with Baccarat made the name Christofle known around the world. It maintains stores and sales internationally today.
