Overview
Champagne bucket, copper gilded, France, 19th century, height 28 cm
This spectacular 19th-century champagne bucket is a rare survivor of French decorative refinement. Made from gilded copper with deep, hand-stamped ornamentation, it rests elegantly on four lion paw feet—an unmistakable nod to regal grandeur. The hammered texture of the body reflects the artisan's hand in every shimmering facet, combining luxury with the unmistakable authenticity of age.
Its generous proportions (approximately 28 cm high and 30 cm across) allow for up to four champagne bottles, making it a statement piece on any buffet, bar, or celebration table. Whether used as a functional cooler or a dramatic centerpiece, it embodies the taste for opulence that defined the 19th-century revival of the Grand Siècle style.
This piece is not only decorative but practical, and its rare state of preservation—with only minor signs of wear consistent with age—adds to its character. A beautiful object at a very compelling price, especially considering the fine craftsmanship and rarity.
