Bottle bucket—silver-plated bronze cooler bearing the coat of arms of the d'Arenberg family, first third of the 18th century.
Base decorated with a frieze of godrons; body adorned with an applied lambrequin design. The central body is engraved with the family coat of arms. Circular rim accented with gadroons and horizontal frog-leg handles.
Coat of arms: Gules, three medlar flowers Or, piercing the field. The shield is surmounted by the crown of a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. It is surrounded by the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece, the whole set upon a mantle lined with ermine.
The title of Prince of Arenberg and of the Holy Roman Empire was created in 1576 by Emperor Maximilian II for Charles of Arenberg.
The cooling bucket, dating from the first third of the 18th century, most likely belonged to Leopold Philip of Arenberg (1690–1754), who was awarded the title of Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1700.
