A beautiful vintage mid-century French corkscrew featuring a stunning handle crafted from a natural, gnarled grapevine root burl. This piece showcases incredible rustic texture and a polished finish that fits beautifully and ergonomically in the hand.

Handle: Hand-assembled, smooth varnished natural grapevine root burl with distinct grain and organic twists.

Mechanism: Open-helix wire worm with a center-core hole designed to safely extract corks without tearing them.

Hardware: Sturdy brass rivet pin anchoring the shank into the wood frame.

Markings: Completely unmarked shank/collar, which is highly characteristic of local regional artisans or Laurent Siret pieces that originally utilized paper/foil adhesive labels rather than metal stamping.

Estimated Era: Mid-20th Century (circa 1950s - 1970s).

Condition: Good vintage condition with authentic patina on the metal and minor surface aging expected of a functional barware piece.

Mechanical action remains strong and solid.
