This sculptural French vine wood corkscrew was crafted by Laurent Siret of Rochefort‑sur‑Loire, one of the most noted 20th‑century French corkscrew makers. The twisted natural branch handle shows rich grain, knots, and a warm patina, paired with a classic steel worm for practical use or display.
A small metal label on the handle reads “Tony La Barba,” the influential Dallas wine importer known for bringing fine European wines—especially Italian—to Texas, adding appealing wine‑trade provenance and regional history. The shank is marked “Laurent Siret” and “France,” confirming its French origin and desirable maker, with production likely in the early to mid‑20th century (circa 1930s–1950s).
Perfect styled on a home bar, bar cart, or in a kitchen vignette, this corkscrew works beautifully as functional vintage barware or as a conversation‑starting decorative object. Ideal for wine cellar decor, man cave displays, or a unique host gift, especially for those who collect French corkscrews or vineyard tools.
