Made from rich brown vine wood, the corkscrew carries a unique rustic charm, reflecting the careful craftsmanship that Siret became known for.

The corkscrew is engraved with the manufacturer’s mark on the metal screw, a signature of Siret’s work and a testament to its authenticity and quality. Laurent Siret, born in 1899, learned metalworking from his father, a locksmith, before opening his own workshop in 1918. By the 1930s, he had fully developed his craft, using locally sourced vine wood and pioneering new techniques to create these sommelier-quality tools. His innovative use of vine wood set his corkscrews apart, making them prized by both collectors and wine enthusiasts.

This corkscrew is not only a functional tool but also a historical piece that has aged beautifully. The natural patina on the wood, coupled with signs of light wear, enhances their vintage appeal. They would make a striking addition to any home bar. See less
