A plain band of silver runs up the body before meeting a decorated band near the neck, keeping the design restrained and letting the form itself carry most of the visual interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwin handles are applied at the widest point, angular and faceted rather than curved, in keeping with the strong geometric language Murray brought to his metalwork. Inside, a pierced strainer separates ice from melt water, a practical detail that makes the piece as functional today as it was when new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underside is fully marked, confirming the Mappin and Webb manufacture to Webb's design, a pairing collectors of British Art Deco silver look for specifically. The reeded foot and stepped rim are both crisp, with no signs of the wear or softening that comes with heavy use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating to around 1930 and made in the United Kingdom, this is a well preserved example of British Art Deco design, and a strong piece for a bar cart or sideboard for anyone drawn to Keith Murray's work or the period more broadly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Collectors Gene","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50315788517514,"sku":null,"price":1170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1247\/6810\/files\/Keith_Murray_for_Mappin_Webb_Art_Deco_Ice_Bucket_Circa_1930_1.jpg?v=1792429097","url":"https:\/\/cameronsteiner.com\/products\/keith-murray-for-mappin-webb-art-deco-ice-bucket-circa-1930","provider":"Cameron Steiner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
