Description

This is a striking Early 20th Century Decorative Brass Wine Bottle Cooler. The cooler is cylindrical and has a Persian inspired design of figures and hunting scenes, hand coloured in red and black, set against a background of intertwining flowers and foliage.

The wine bottle cooler was made in England as part of the KINCO range and dates to the 1920s/30s. KINCO was the trademark of the firm British Metal (Kingston) Ltd, who were based in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey and later in St Margarets near Twickenham. Between 1923 and 1939 they produced a wide range of distinctive decorated brass ware of very high quality drawing inspiration from Egyptian, Persian, Indian and Chinese designs, which were hand coloured and then lacquered. In 1939 the firm converted completely to war work and never returned to decorative brass items.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents, a good patina and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The bottle cooler will comfortably hold any normal size bottle of red, white or sparkling wine plus the ice required for cooling. It stands 22cm / 8.7ins high and is 16cm / 6.3ins in diameter across the base. It weighs in at 722g / 25.5oz.

The underside of the base is stamped KINCO.
