Pair of 19th-century French Champagne bucket floor stands 23¾"

A lovely pair of silver plated Champagne bucket stands dating from the nineteenth century. Likely first used in a luxury French hotel or restaurant, their elegant and solid forms feature a simple ribbing design and a beautiful shine. The base is weighted with lead to create extra stability to prevent the stand from being easily knocked over.

This rare pair will make a perfect symmetrical statement for an entertaining enthusiast looking to add a touch of French refinement to their events.  See in-situ video depiction featuring both stands. From a private collection in the south of France, and yes, other items shown in the video are available for purchase! Note the bases show some pitting to their patina.
