AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Rare and elegant mechanical decanting cradle (bottle holder), ideal for serving mature wines, Vintage Port, or fine reserves with natural sediment. This functional and decorative piece allows the bottle to be tilted extremely gently and gradually using a precision worm-drive mechanism with a side crank, preventing lees or sediment that has settled at the bottom from mixing with the wine when serving.
The upper frame replicates the shape of a traditional wine bottle to ensure stability, resting on a turned central column. The finely worked square base features ornamental feet and embossed details of exceptional aesthetic quality. An indispensable piece for sommeliers, collectors of wine accessories, and Port enthusiasts.
• Era/Period: Late 19th to mid-20th century (circa 1890–1940).
• Material: Brass / oxidized bronze (with natural age patina).
• Condition: It has an authentic patina and normal signs of use and the passage of time, which give it character. The mechanical crank-and-screw mechanism is fully functional and operates smoothly.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
