đˇ Step into the world of timeless wine ritual with this solid-brass Italian barrel corkscrewâan object both utilitarian and sculptural, destined to elevate your bar cart or dinner table.
đ Long before screw-pulls spun into being, cork stoppers were already prized in 17th-century Europe for sealing fine wines. By the late 18th century, inventive minds like Reverend Nehemiah Grew and later Samuel Henshall (who patented his âHenshall buttonâ design in 1795) gave us the corkscrew we know todayâa simple helix on a handle that effortlessly drew corks skyward. This little brass beauty carries on that elegant tradition.
Crafted in Italyâmarked âITALYâ at the collar ring and lightly engraved ARK on its barrelâthis 1970sâ80s era corkscrew feels substantial in your hand. Its heavy-weight brass body gleams with a warm patina that whispers of countless celebratory uncorkings. The plastic-lined interior where the bottle meets the brass reminds us of thoughtful mid-century Italian design, marrying function and flair.
đ When fully extended, it measures 5 Âź inches (13.3 cm) long, its T-handle spanning 2 5â8 inches (6.7 cm) wide, and the barrel sitting 1 â
inches (4.1 cm) deepâjust right for slipping into a drawer or showing off on a shelf.
âď¸ This example is in excellent vintage condition: the worm (thatâs the cork-gripping helix) turns smoothly, the brass bears only light surface marks and beautiful age-earned coloration, and the plastic collar remains intact and snug. It works exactly as intended, extracting corks with the satisfying âpopâ every oenophile loves.
Whether youâre hunting for the perfect gift for a wine devotee, styling a retro bar cart, or simply savoring the tactile joy of uncorking a bottle the old-school way, this Italian brass corkscrew delivers character, history, and enduring utility in one compact package.
