An Italian silver swing-handled ice bucket, marked Cartier.

An Italian silver swing-handled ice bucket, of circular wrythen fluted form with angular handle and slightly domed removable lid. Marked 925 alongside the Italian national mark for Florence, further marked Cartier. Height measuring 7 7/8 inches (20.2 cm), weight 21 ozt (656.3 grams). In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The swing handle is self supporting, one of the fixture points sticks out slightly. Some file marks beneath the base. Would benefit from a clean and polish. National mark beneath the base is slightly obscured, partial is clear to the rim, other marks clear and legible.
