"Sword-handled Corkscrew"
Antique piston and needle corkscrew, late 19th – early 20th century. The finely sculpted bronze handle depicts Saint Michael slaying the dragon, featuring rich symbolic iconography and high-quality decoration.
The hollow needle mechanism allows the cork to be extracted by air pressure, an ingenious system sought after by collectors. Beautiful antique patina; a decorative object and curiosity, combining art, technology, and history.
