Late-18th-century Old Sheffield Plate (fused plate) wine cooler with removable rim and drawn wire interior frame. The cooler body has has applied silver reeded bands and is fitted with two cast lion mask and ring handles.
This is quite a rare item, the overall fine and original condition combined with the unique Old Sheffield manufacturing techniques, such as the drawn wire interior and applied silver mounts are extremely hard to find.
Did you know, Winston Churchill was a devoted drinker of Champagne, especially Pol Roger. He even named one of his racehorses Pol Roger.
And here's a tip:
Don't just fill the wine cooler with ice cubes to chill your favourite wines or Champagne. Fill with ice, then halfway up with water, before dropping in the bottle or bottles. If there's room for more water, add it. Adding water creates an icy bath that's in contact with the entire surface of the bottle. You're welcome!
