Additional Description
Decorative silver-plated wine cooler or champagne bucket by Osiris Industria Argentina, featuring a cylindrical form with an elegant pierced scrolling gallery around the upper rim and lower body. The openwork design combines flowing Art Nouveau- and Art Deco-inspired motifs, while the turned side handles and stepped circular foot lend a refined architectural balance. The pierced construction creates a striking play of light, making the piece equally suitable as a wine cooler, champagne bucket, cachepot, or decorative centerpiece.
The underside bears the impressed OSIRIS trademark above Industria Argentina, identifying one of Argentina's better-known mid-century producers of silver-plated tablewares and bar accessories. Comparable Osiris silver-plated serving pieces and wine accessories appear on the secondary market, confirming the firm's production of decorative barware.
Era
Mid-20th century, circa 1940–1965.
History
Osiris was an Argentine manufacturer specializing in silver-plated hollowware and decorative serving pieces during the mid-20th century. Their wares often combined European design influences with robust Argentine craftsmanship, producing barware and entertaining accessories intended for both domestic and hospitality use. The pierced gallery seen here recalls late Art Nouveau ornament while maintaining the clean lines favored in mid-century decorative arts.
