We pride ourselves on transparency. This set is in Very Good Vintage Condition, retaining a beautiful, highly reflective silver luster.
Ice Bucket: Structurally perfectly sound with absolutely no dents, bends, or deep gouges. The exterior maintains a brilliant silver luster, showing only light superficial scratches consistent with normal historical use. The interior exhibits slight, natural oxidation typical of vintage silverplate, which does not affect its functionality or outer beauty.
Ice Tongs: In good, perfectly usable condition. They show a moderate scratch on the back. Internally, specifically near the inner hinge/pivot area, there is visible oxidation. Crucially, one of the claw ends exhibits a distinct moderate scratch and some plating flaking (as clearly shown in the detailed close-up photographs). These natural signs of historical wear are authentic testaments to its age and use, and they do not detract from the overall elegance or functionality of the set.More than just barware, this set is a time capsule of an era when every single detail of hosting was an art form. To own a Christofle piece is to welcome the spirit of Parisian high society into your home. Imagine the soft clink of the silver tongs and the timeless glow of French silver under warm evening lights. It is not just an acquisition; it is an inheritance of pure elegance, waiting to whisper its rich, historical stories to your guests and elevate your finest moments into unforgettable memories.Disclaimer:
