An exceptional French Art Deco silver-plated champagne and wine cooler designed by Luc Lanel for Christofle's historic Gallia collection, circa 1930. Embodying the refined modernism of 1930s French barware, this piece features a sleek, tapered silhouette accented by clean, stepped circular ribbing near the base and sharp, geometric block-style handles. Lanel’s work for Christofle’s Gallia line defined luxury of the era, striking a balance between modernist geometric symmetry and master silver plating. This authentic piece is clearly signed on the base with the official Gallia hallmark featuring the horse head logo, the GALLIA stamp, the model production number 0408, and the Christofle maker's square hallmark. It's in excellent condition.
