A luxury barware gilded brass and chrome metal bar ice bucket designed by Loewe, Spain. The sleek and modernist design is made from chromed metal with gilded brass Loewe logo decor with a dimensional striped design. The inner insulated liner is in the copper pink glass. The company's legal hallmarks underside reads Loewe - made in Spain.
Note: Given their Spanish heritage, one would be forgiven for assuming that Loewe's company brand and how it is pronounced derives from Castilian. The true provenance traces back to Germany.
The house was founded originally in 1846 by a group of Spanish craftsmen in Madrid as a leathermaking collective. It was not until thirty years later, in 1876, that the technically gifted leatherworker Enrique Loewe Roessberg arrived from Germany, took over, and consolidated the operation under a unified banner. He bestowed the company with his name, and the brand as we know it today was born.
Since its inception, Loewe has valued artisanal techniques in their research for modern design and fine craftsmanship.
