The bottle opener offered in this listing specifically features an equestrian decorative theme. It is cast in brass and later chrome-plated. It originally had a gilt wash, still visible on the underside, with small traces remaining on the upper part of the hat. Like a finely detailed miniature gentleman’s riding helmet, this bottle opener was carefully crafted in Italy between the 1960s and 1970s. On the underside, it still retains the original adhesive label from a now-closed shop in Florence called “Vinattieri.” A fun and unconventional object, perfect as a Christmas gift. It is in good vintage condition, showing minor signs of age and use visible in the photos and noted in the listing. See less
