Antique Art Nouveau French Champagne Bucket for Charles Heidsieck by Argit SFOA

About the Item

A magnificent, authentic, art nouveau champagne bucket from the famous French champagne maker Charles Heidsieck in Reims, founded in 1851. This rare model dates from the early 1900s. It is made in France for Charles Heidsieck by Argit SFOA (Société Française d'Orfèvrerie d'Art) a well known silversmith in Paris who worked with numerous famous champagne makers (see maker's stamp on the base). According to the stamps, this particular model is trademarked (modèle déposé). The body of the champagne bucket looks to be made of copper or a copper alloy (see inside) that has been gold plated. The plaque and the handles are made of pewter. The bucket has an embossed plaque with the Charles Heidsieck logo on one side. The handles have been moulded with wonderful grape-wine decorations. Since this particular model was trademarked, it can only be found with this antique Charles Heidsieck version. In fair antique condition. The bucket has purposely not been polished since some amateurs of antique barware and champagne memorabilia prefer to keep the original patina. If so wanted, the bucket can of course be polished. However, this is not an item for those who are looking for a flawless champagne bucket. The bottom edge has a few dents on the back side (see photos) which cause a minor instability. The surface shows signs of wear consistent with age (see photos), however the body has no major scratches or dents. Dimension: height 20 cm/ 8", width 20 cm/ 8", width with handles 24 cm/ 9 1/2". Weight: 1155 g/ 2.55 lbs

1930s Art Deco French Faience Centerpiece by Charles Lemanceau for Saint-Clément
By Charles Lemanceau
Located in COLMAR, FR
This is an iconic art deco centerpiece from the famous French earthenware factory Saint Clément, established in 1758.

Set of Four Antique French Religious Carbon Prints by Maison AD. Braun & Cie
Located in COLMAR, FR
These four original carbon prints have been made by the French publishing house Maison Braun & Cie. (see labels on the backs). The company was launched in 1853 in the town of Dornach, Alsace, France by Adolphe Braun (1812-1877). The company specialized in (large) reproductions of artworks and came to open offices in Paris (1868), London and New York. In 1883 the company, which had been taken over by Adolphe's son and other family members, became the official and sole photographer/publisher for the Louvre Museum in Paris and other stately owned museums in France. They also had a very impressive sale list of images from other reputed European museums and collections. The company was taken over in the 1950s and the brand ceased to exist in 1969. This set consists of four framed, original carbon prints of late middle-age religious paintings by Italian masters. These prints most likely date from late 1800s or early 1900s. The two large angels are sections from the Linaiuoli Triptych, dated 1433 and painted by the Italian artist Fra Angelico (circa 1387-1455). He is often referred to as the "painter of angels". The female saint holding a book is from the artwork "Annunciation" by the Italian painter Fra Filippo Lippi...
