The handle is masterfully carved from an authentic, naturally twisted grapevine stem (cep de vigne), making this a completely unique, organic piece of barware art. This specific item features a dual branding that highly increases its collectibility: the metal shaft is deeply stamped with the maker's mark "Laurent Siret - Rochefort S/L - France", while the wooden handle retains its original golden metallic label from the historic Champagne merchant "Paul Etienne - Vins Fins - S.P. Épernay".
with its rich wood grain, glossy finish, and beautiful brutalist-organic shape, this corkscrew serves as both a functional enological tool and a stunning decorative object for high-end bars, wine cellars, or rustic-chic interiors.
Condition Report:
