Description from the seller

Elegant antique set for connoisseurs and collectors of barware. The lot comprises two telescopic siphons (fouets / champagne whisks) made in solid 935 sterling silver, finely shaped like miniature champagne bottles. The retractable mechanism works perfectly: when you pull out the stem, the flexible inner whisk is extended, topped by a ball, historically used to soften the perlage in sparkling wine glasses. When closed, the whisks retract completely into the compact body. The set includes its rare original transparent case from the era with the gilded inscription "Argento 935/1000".
