Saint Hilaire produced polished silver-plated barware and tabletop pieces through the 20th century, from champagne buckets and coolers to place-card holders and novelty bottle openers, turning up today in French Art Deco and mid-century barware collections. This example takes the classic champagne pliers form: a hinged clamp with a scalloped, tooth-edged jaw designed to grip the cork's wire cage and metal collar, twisting it free with leverage rather than a straight pull. The arms taper to rounded points, the hinge is spring-loaded, and the maker's script signature is engraved along one handle. The box interior is gilt-stamped Saint Hilaire Paris, with CHAMPAGNE stamped along the front edge of the fitted tray. Sold with its original box. See less
