The seau a champagne -- the champagne bucket -- was a fixture of French cafe and domestic entertaining culture from the 1930s onward, and this example carries all the confident, no-nonsense character of that tradition. The chrome upper half is bright and mirror-like; the pale wood base, banded in two rings, gives the piece a warm, grounded quality that keeps it from feeling purely industrial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base bears an embossed circular stamp reading LEROY, a French metalware maker. The twin handles are cast with a clean rectangular profile, a detail that reads as quietly Art Deco in feeling. At home on a bar cart, a sideboard or a drinks table, it works equally well holding a bottle of wine on ice or standing empty as a handsome vessel for a plant or a bunch of dried grasses -- as one can see it used here. The interior shows the honest darkening of a piece that has genuinely lived its life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. The exterior chrome carries a network of light surface scratches visible in raking light, and the interior shows the oxidation and minor spotting typical of a working bar piece; structurally sound throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. 7.7 in tall (19.5 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":58728157741400,"sku":"FMF-XGSYF3QQ","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/8ebdfe7508c44309f13717a206690030.jpg?v=1791647255","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-vintage-chrome-wood-ice-bucket-1010265","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
