An antique circa 1920s heavy silver plated ice bucket from the Carlton hotel in London, a precursor to the Ritz Carlton. The Carlton was originally run by the Swiss hotelier César Ritz, with Auguste Escoffier as the head chef. In its early days it was one of London's most fashionable hotels along with the Savoy Hotel, which Ritz and Escoffier had previously managed.
In excellent condition, no dents or damage. The outside has polished up beautifully, there is discoloration and staining from sitting water on the inside. Marked on the front with the hotel crest.
Measures 5.25 inches tall to the top of the handles, 5 inches wide across
