The body rises in a graceful tulip flare from a reeded foot to a broad, fluted rim edged with fine beading; the silhouette is one that French silversmiths refined through the mid-twentieth century into an almost architectural standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat gives this piece its particular appeal are the two cast lion-head handles, each holding a twisted rope ring in its jaws -- a motif borrowed from neoclassical design that pairs strength with elegance. The silver plating is bright and highly polished, reflecting the room like a mirror, and the engraved arch frieze just below the rim adds a layer of hand-finished detail that lifts it well above ordinary hotel-ware. At home today it reads equally well chilling a bottle of rose on a summer table, holding fresh flowers on a kitchen counter, or anchoring a bar cart with handsome authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The interior shows light wear as expected from normal use; the exterior plating remains bright and largely intact, with no significant losses visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements are approx. 8.1 in tall (20.5 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58695910588760,"sku":"FMF-NYH6XNYA","price":319.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/67df1c9e135c0f61f0c85e4399aeafdf.jpg?v=1791450382","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-silver-plated-champagne-bucket-0810262","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
