Vintage Christofle Talisman Silver-Plated Champagne Cooler / Ice Bucket with Laque de Chine Handles – France

Elegant vintage Christofle Talisman champagne cooler / ice bucket, made in France and featuring Christofle's distinctive Laque de Chine lacquer handles in a rich reddish-brown tone.

This is the large Talisman champagne cooler, measuring approximately 8.25 inches high × 11 inches across the handles. The classic silver-plated body has a clean, architectural form with horizontal banding at the rim and gracefully curved silver-plated supports terminating in cylindrical lacquer handles.

The underside is clearly marked:

FRANCE
Christofle hallmarks
LAQUE DE CHINE

The combination of polished silver plate and lacquer handles is characteristic of Christofle's Talisman collection and gives the piece a particularly elegant Art Deco-influenced appearance.

Dimensions: Approximately 8.25" high × 11" wide, including handles.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate surface wear and tarnish from use and storage. The silver-plated surface has not been aggressively polished. The lacquer handles remain attractive and present well. Please examine the photographs carefully for surface condition, including any light scratches, marks or variations associated with age and use.

A handsome and difficult-to-find Christofle Talisman piece that can be used as a champagne or wine cooler, ice bucket, or an elegant flower vase or centerpiece. Equally striking as a decorative object when not in use.

Please review all photographs, which are considered part of the description.
