Italian Club Type Boxwood Corkscrew
Very nice Italian boxwood corkscrew similar to the French “The Club”. It has a very elegantly carved boxwood frame with lovely bulbous curves and slim indents and an Archimedean worm. 18.5 cms long.
See Ellis & Ellis – Corkscrews page 144 and Peters - Mechanical Corkscrews page 133
Condition – Very good, very nice warm brown patina, some dark marks and patches on the frame, the cross handle has natural dark knots in the wood, the top handle has a few marks and indents. The steel shaft is pitted, the worm is intact. The mechanism works OK.
