Quistgaard in the late 1950s is stamped with the authentic product design number "810" on the underside. This specific piece is the highly coveted, rarer 19.25-inch tall statement variant which is significantly harder to find than the more common 15-inch models.

Masterfully constructed using traditional Danish coopering techniques, Quistgaard engineered these pieces from solid teak staves rather than thin veneers, ensuring a robust and timeless architectural silhouette. Thanks to its impressive premium height, this versatile piece functions beautifully as both a high-capacity ice bucket and a sculptural wine or champagne chiller for your home bar.

Condition:
In excellent, pre-loved vintage condition, displaying a stunning, rich auburn grain. The solid teak staves are beautifully preserved with no structural separation or splitting. The interior retains its original, vibrant red plastic liner, which is entirely intact and free of the cracks common to pieces of this era. Shows minimal, gentle surface wear entirely consistent with its 60+ year age and history.

Dimensions:
9.25" W × 9.25" D × 19.25" H

A quintessential piece of Scandinavian Modern design that serves as a functional barware staple and a striking collector's item. Perfect as a standout addition to an MCM collection or a sophisticated housewarming gift. See less
