Spun from polished aluminum and stamped on the base ARGIT \/ MADE IN FRANCE, this seau a champagne -- the table-side wine cooler that was a fixture in French brasseries and fine dining rooms throughout the postwar decades -- speaks directly to that confident, unfussy French art of entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bucket carries a warm polished finish that picks up light beautifully, and the original branded label remains intact on the front, printed with the Laurent-Perrier name in flowing script above the house address. Two cast ring handles are riveted at either side in the sturdy, no-nonsense manner typical of mid-century French hotel and restaurant ware. The raised concentric bands near the rim and base give the form a quietly handsome, well-balanced profile. Today it works as well on a bar cart, a kitchen counter or a dining table as it ever did in the restaurant setting for which it was made -- filled with ice for a bottle of champagne or sparkling water, or simply displayed as a piece of graphic French barware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.
