About the Item

This early 20th century French Napoleon III style two-handled bottle cooler, dating to circa 1900, is an exceptional example of gilt-bronze and cut crystal craftsmanship. The cooler features a finely cut crystal body, measuring 12 inches in height and 12 inches in maximum diameter, elegantly encased in richly gilded bronze mounts that showcase the luxurious materials and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of the period. The two gilt-bronze handles are sculpted to combine both functionality and decorative elegance, while the intricately cut crystal catches and reflects light, creating a striking visual effect. The cooler rests on a stand stamped “MADE IN FRANCE,” confirming its origin and superior craftsmanship. Its elevated design allows for practical use and impressive display, making it a perfect centerpiece for entertaining or as a decorative focal point in a refined interior. The overall height of the piece is 33 1/4 inches, commanding attention while maintaining balanced proportions. In good condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. This early 20th century French gilt-bronze and cut crystal bottle cooler exemplifies Napoleon III style at its finest, merging functional elegance with exquisite decorative artistry, ideal for collectors and connoisseurs of French decorative arts.
