Cartier Solid Silver Champagne Cooler,

Solid silver Cartier champagne cooler, "Les Must de Cartier" model, circa 1970

Description
Elegant and sought-after, this champagne cooler from the House of Cartier is part of the iconic production of the 1970s, a period during which the "Les Must de Cartier" line offered utilitarian objects of great luxury, with a sleek and timeless design.

Made in first-rate solid silver (925 thousandths), it adopts a sober cylindrical shape with balanced proportions, highlighting the quality of the material and the mastery of the finishes. It features two side grips consisting of large, movable rings, mounted on clasps.

Their unusual size and perfect circularity are not simply functional choices: they reflect a formal approach directly derived from Cartier's own jewellery vocabulary. Through their design and mobility, these rings give the set a precious, structured presence, characteristic of the house's creations in the field of tableware.

Preserved in its original "Les Must de Cartier" branded box, a sought-after item that is increasingly difficult to find, the set gains in coherence and interest. Slight wear and tear on the box (minor discoloration), with no effect on the presentation, are noted.

Cartier's sterling silver productions, particularly for tableware, are becoming rarer on the market today, reinforcing the appeal of this model.

Condition is very satisfactory, with no notable shocks, and simple superficial traces of use in keeping with its intended purpose.
