Description from the seller
Wooden cellar corkscrew – Italy, 1950s
Fascinating cellar corkscrew dating from the 1950s, an authentic antique object that tells the story of wine tradition and Italian craftsmanship in the postwar era.
Primarily made of solid wood, it features a sturdy vertical structure with a resting base and a characteristic metal lever-operated mechanism, completed by an original red lateral knob. The surfaces retain a pleasant patina of time, with those small marks and color variations that underscore its authenticity and vintage charm.
Born as a functional tool for manually corking bottles, the corkscrew is still functional today and its mechanism remains intact. Today, beyond its original function, it represents a splendid 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 color of the wood, the metallic components, and the red detail of the knob give the object a strong stage presence, making it particularly interesting as a decorative accessory in rustic, industrial, or vintage settings.
Dimensions:
Height: about 72 cm
Length: about 44 cm
Maximum width: about 25 cm
An original object and increasingly hard to find, capable of uniting history, functionality and great decorative value, perfect for those who wish to add to their collection an authentic testament to the Italian enological culture of the twentieth century.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the condition of the item.
The wood flaws, especially the feet, and the old woodworm holes are defects highlighted in the detailed photos and are an integral part of the description.
A suitable packaging will be prepared and tracked shipping across Europe.
