Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Mechanical Wine Decanter (Cradle Decanting), solid turned and varnished wood (probably mahogany, walnut or chestnut).
Rare and ingenious mechanical wine decanter in wood, designed for serving fine or fortified wines (such as Port wine) with age deposit. It sits on a rectangular moulded base, supporting a hinged cradle-shaped (trough) structure for the safe positioning of the bottle.
The device features a refined wooden gear-driven mechanical system, manually operated by a small side crank. The rotational movement drives a central threaded mast that raises or lowers the trough with millimetric precision, allowing an extremely slow, smooth, and continuous tilt of the liquid. This process precisely avoids agitation or mixing of lees and sediments with the wine at serving. A highly appealing element, combining artisanal mechanical engineering with traditional wine culture.
The crank mechanism that lowers or raises the bottle works very well.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
