Description from the seller

Antique Folding Pocket Corkscrew in Iron – Circa 1770 – 18th Century

An authentic and rare 18th-century folding pocket corkscrew, crafted in iron and dating to approximately the 1770s. This early portable corkscrew represents one of the first generations of personal wine-opening tools, designed for travellers and gentlemen to carry discreetly in a pocket.

The piece features a simple yet elegant hand-forged construction, with a folding mechanism characteristic of the period. Its form reflects the practical ingenuity of late-18th-century metalwork, prior to the widespread industrial production of corkscrews in the 19th century.

The iron surface shows a natural aged patina consistent with over two centuries of age, enhancing its historical character and authenticity.

Condition: Good antique condition for its age, with expected wear, oxidation, and signs of hand forging. Mechanism intact and stable.
Material: Hand-forged iron
Period: 18th century
Date: Circa 1770
Origin: Europe


A rare collector’s item of early wine culture history, suitable for corkscrew collectors, antique tool collections, or cabinet of curiosities displays.
