Brass, wood and goatskin ice bucket by Aldo Tura, 1950s
Vintage 1950s Mid-Century Modern Brass, Wood & Goatskin Ice Bucket by Aldo Tura A rare and highly collectible piece of Italian design, this vintage ice bucket by the celebrated designer Aldo Tura is a stunning example of Mid-Century Modern craftsmanship. Dating from the 1950s, it showcases Tura's signature use of luxurious materials and architectural forms. The body of the ice bucket is beautifully crafted from genuine goatskin, which has been meticulously dyed and lacquered to create a luminous, textured surface in a warm, honeyed tone. The unique texture and slight variations in the goatskin make each piece one of a kind. The design is enhanced by high-quality hardware: a minimalist, sculptural handle made from dark, richly grained wood is elegantly mounted to the body with brass fittings. The handle's streamlined shape is a perfect contrast to the organic texture of the goatskin. The interior features a removable brass liner, making it easy to clean and ensuring it is perfectly functional for holding ice. The set is complete with a brass insert and matching brass ice tongs, both of which are in excellent vintage condition. It would be a magnificent addition to a vintage bar cart, a luxury dining room, or a collection of mid-century objects. Set includes: Ice Bucket, Removable Brass Liner, Brass Ice Tongs, Brass Insert Excellent vintage condition. The goatskin and hardware show a lovely patina consistent with age and use.
