Christofle “Biarritz” Silver Plate Ice Bucket — Gallia Collection, 1950s
A beautifully crafted 1950s silver-plated ice bucket by Christofle, part of the distinguished Gallia Collection. The “Biarritz” model is celebrated for its clean, architectural form — a subtle nod to midcentury French design elegance — featuring a swing handle, stepped banded detailing, and a removable internal tray designed to catch meltwater from the ice.
Christofle, the revered Parisian silversmith, has long been associated with refinement and craftsmanship. This piece captures the essence of their postwar modern aesthetic — polished yet functional, timeless yet distinctly French. The moveable handle and sculpted silhouette make it a handsome addition to any bar, cocktail trolley, or entertaining setting.
