French Chrome Krug Champagne Ice Bucket Vintage Wine Cooler 27062619

Krug Champagne Ice Bucket

A French Krug Champagne ice bucket in polished chrome, made for restaurant and hotel service use. The Krug Champagne ice bucket was produced as branded hospitality ware for the prestigious Reims-based house of Krug, one of the grands crus champagne producers of the Champagne region. The stamped mark on the base reads "Made in France", confirming its French manufacture.

The bucket is cylindrical in form with a flared rim, constructed in heavy-gauge polished chrome metal. The exterior carries an applied octagonal enamel label bearing the Krug name in serif lettering, the crowned "K" crest above, and "Champagne" in a cartouche below, all in copper-rose and cream tones against the polished silver ground. On each side, cast ring handles are mounted on raised grape and vine leaf bosses, a motif common to French hotel silver of the mid-twentieth century. The interior shows the characteristic raised central dome at the base designed to cradle a bottle neck, with two small riveted studs visible inside. The overall surface retains strong polish with age-consistent oxidation to the base and minor tarnishing to the handle mounts, consistent with decades of service use.

The seller states a diameter of 21cm. Height is estimated from photos at approximately 22cm / 8.7". Width across handles is approximately 28cm / 11". Interior diameter at rim approximately 21cm / 8.3".

A sought-after piece among wine memorabilia collectors and hospitality decor enthusiasts, the Krug Champagne ice bucket displays well on a bar cart, sideboard or dining table. Branded champagne buckets of this type, especially from grand marque houses, attract consistent interest from collectors in the US, UK and continental Europe.
