Ruinart, founded in Reims in 1729, is the oldest established champagne house, and branded service items such as this were supplied to hospitality venues as promotional pieces throughout the mid-to-late twentieth century. This Ruinart Champagne Ice Bucket is a sought-after piece among collectors of French bar and table accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bucket is fabricated in silver-plated metal with a high-polish chrome-like finish on the exterior. Two ring handles in aged brass tone are mounted on opposite sides via round ball-top posts, providing a warm contrast against the cooler silver body. A beaded border runs around the base, adding a period decorative detail. The interior shows honest wear consistent with use — some darkening, water staining and loss of the base plating are visible at the bottom interior, as shown in the photos. The exterior retains a strong reflective polish overall. No maker's hallmark or silversmith stamp is visible on the base from the photos provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seller states a height of 21cm (approximately 8.3 inches). Based on visual proportion, the diameter at the rim is estimated at approximately 20cm (7.9 inches). These are the dimensions of the bucket body only, excluding the ring handles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA classic form for display in a bar, dining room or wine cellar setting, this bucket also appeals to collectors of Ruinart memorabilia and French champagne house ephemera. The aged brass handles and polished body give it a strong visual presence suitable for both use and display.\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-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57832022081880,"sku":"324773540320_ACC6_FFBD_B339__A68","price":251.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_06b37c84-ce63-4cec-8b7b-9ae8fa99e541.jpg?v=1785435259","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/ruinart-champagne-ice-bucket-silver-3007263","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
