ABOUT PRODUCTID 12586
This ice bucket by Val Saint Lambert was crafted in Belgium during the 1950s and exemplifies post-war Art Deco aesthetics. Made from high-quality glass with a matte white, semi-translucent finish achieved through acid-etching and sanding, the piece is defined by vertical ribbing along the body—a subtle nod to the geometric rhythm characteristic of the style. The top edge features a robust chrome metal rim and handle, which create a striking contrast with the frosted glass. The lower section transitions smoothly into transparent glass, adorned with rounded impressions and faceted cuts that enrich the visual play of light and reflection. The dense, weighted base ensures stability. The piece is preserved in very good condition, showing no significant chips, cracks, or wear on the glass and metal; the original finish and authentic surfaces remain intact.This bucket speaks in the language of the 1950s: its form embodies both the optimism of the postwar era and the disciplined clarity of modernism. The matte glass recalls the soft luminosity of vintage living rooms, while its geometric grooves suggest a neatly structured yet inviting social ritual. The chromed fittings pick up ambient light, as if announcing that every gathering becomes an occasion—the vessel seems to invite shared toasts while quietly narrating the story of Belgian craftsmanship and the enduring virtue of simple, clean lines.Its classic proportions and interplay of materials make it a versatile accent for a collector’s dining table or a sophisticated home bar. The bucket could be paired with simple glass decanters, polished serving trays, or glasses in decadent shapes to amplify the Art Deco effect. It would suit mid-century modern interiors, classical salons with a vintage touch, or contemporary dining spaces punctuated by graphic accents—each setting allowing the ice bucket to serve as a subtle but compelling homage to the refined standards of a bygone era.
