Brass and wood ice bucket by Aldo Tura for Macabo, 1950s
This sophisticated mid-century modern ice bucket, crafted in the 1950s, is a testament to the elegant design of the era. Attributed to the renowned designer Aldo Tura for Macabo, this piece combines warm, natural wood with sleek, polished brass to create a striking contrast. The cylindrical body of the bucket is covered in finely-grained wood, showcasing a rich patina that highlights its vintage charm. The top is crowned with a brass lid and a distinctive handle, featuring a sculptural, crown-like finial that is a signature detail of Tura's work. A sturdy brass handle, securely attached to the brass band at the top, allows for easy transport. Inside, the bucket is lined with a insulated liner, ensuring ice stays cold for extended periods. This stylish and functional piece is perfect for a home bar, adding a touch of Italian flair and a dose of retro glamour to any cocktail party. In very good vintage condition, probably never used, this ice bucket is a must-have for collectors of Italian mid-century design.
