Description from the seller

Wooden cellar corker – Italy, 1950s

Fascinating cellar corker dating back to the 1950s, an authentic vintage item that tells the story of Italian winemaking tradition and craftsmanship in the postwar period.

Primarily made of solid wood, it features a sturdy vertical structure with a base and a distinctive manual lever mechanism in metal, completed by an original red side knob. The surfaces retain a pleasant patina of age, with those small scratches and color variations that emphasize its authenticity and vintage charm.

Originally designed as a functional tool for manually corking bottles, the corker is still operational today and preserves its mechanism intact. Today, beyond its original function, it represents a superb decorative element for a cellar, wine shop, restaurant, wine bar, or characterful kitchen, also ideal for collectors of antique tools related to the world of wine.

The slender structure and the combination of the warm wood tone, metal components, and the red detail of the knob give the piece a strong visual presence, making it particularly interesting as a furnishing accessory in rustic, industrial, or vintage interiors.

Dimensions:
Height: about 72 cm
Length: about 44 cm
Maximum width: about 25 cm

An original object that is increasingly hard to find, capable of uniting history, functionality, and strong decorative value, perfect for those who want to add to their collection an authentic testament to Italian enology culture of the 20th century.

The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the current condition of the object.
Defects in the wood, especially the feet, and old woodworm holes are highlighted in the detailed photos and are part of the description.

Adequate packaging will be provided and trackable shipping available throughout Europe.
