Mid-20th-Century Silvered-Metal Wine Cooler - 8"

This elegant mid-20th century silvered-metal wine cooler has a restrained cylindrical form with a slightly flared rim and two small loop handles, each centered by an oval knop. Its simple silhouette give it a refined, understated character, while the delicately shaped handles introduce just enough ornament to soften the otherwise pared-back form.

The silvered finish shows light scratches, areas of oxidation and subtle surface variation from age and use, while the interior has developed a deeper, more mottled patina that creates an attractive contrast with the brighter exterior. Together, these signs of wear give the cooler greater depth and an authentic vintage character. No hallmark is visible.

It would work beautifully on a dining table, drinks trolley or bar, whether used to chill a bottle of wine or champagne or simply as a decorative vessel. Its pared-back form also makes it easy to combine with both antique and contemporary tableware.
