A fine Rafraichissoir Wine Cooler

A very fine, late 19th/ early 20th century French Louis XVI style silver-plated, oval-shaped 'Rafraichissoir' wine, Champagne and stemmed-glass cooler, of Classic Medici design, fitted with two large and elegant swan-neck handles, the top rim shaped to accommodate the necks of bottles and the stems of wine and Champagne glasses (see detail photo). Excellent silversmith's work. Area of Paris, circa 1900.
