Ormesson by Christofle

Discover the unique charm of this classic cooler, inspired by the timeless Rococo style and given a contemporary twist that makes the piece truly distinctive. Its substantial silver-plated design, raised on a footed base, radiates elegance and reflects an exceptional level of craftsmanship that sets it apart.

What makes this cooler particularly special are the beautiful solid shell-shaped handles, featuring a mirrored shell motif rooted in Renaissance, Rococo and classical design. Every detail reflects a strong sense of aesthetics and artistic refinement, making this not merely a functional object, but a decorative piece in its own right.

The Rococo detailing on the handles adds an extra touch of luxury, subtly referencing the elegant frivolity of 18th-century Rococo design. The combination of classical forms with more contemporary elements makes this cooler both a refined accessory and a statement piece that naturally draws attention.

From its striking design and distinctive shell motif to the careful execution in heavy silver plate, this footed cooler has a timeless elegance that will appeal to both collectors and admirers of classic design. It brings a sense of history and sophistication to any interior.

This cooler was made by the renowned French silver house Christofle. Founded in 1830 by Charles Christofle, a visionary jeweller, the Maison soon became a supplier to kings, emperors and tsars, building a reputation that extended far beyond France.

The cooler bears the Christofle stamp and the O.C. Christofle hallmark used from 1935 onwards.

In perfect condition.
