AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant collection corkscrew with horizontal handle and lion head – 800 Silver
Type: Collectible corkscrew / antique sommelier accessory.
Design: Refined horizontal grip enriched at the center by a detailed relief sculpture depicting a lion's head.
Materials and Hallmarks:
The handle and the decorative frame are made of 800-grade silver (to be understood as the fineness of the precious metal, not referring to a historical century). Authenticity and fineness are certified by the hallmarks impressed on the object, clearly bearing the 800 mark.
There is the mark of the goldsmith's workshop and the production province 132 AR (the Arezzo district, in Tuscany, historically renowned worldwide for excellence and the tradition of artisanal silverworking).
The spiral (the worm) and the inner part are in darkened/technical iron metal, as standard to guarantee the necessary robustness and mechanical functionality during bottle opening.
Weight: The gross total weight of the object is 78.62 grams, as documented by the photo with a precision balance attached to the lot.
Conditions: New, never used, stored in excellent condition.
A collectible piece of great charm and elegance, perfect as a table ornament, a classy gift idea, or a standout piece for vintage barware enthusiasts and Italian silverware.
