Description |
Corkscrew with barrel rosewood-handle, it's decored by turning them on a lathe, with the one of the ends a brush to clean the neck of the wax or stopper particles. Corkscrew of this type is made over a long period of time. Its steel shaft is rather long in proportion of the handle, it ends in a beautiful groove worm. The crossing shaft is bored to receive a small ring which made it possible to hang the corkscrew with a lady of the manor (small chain carried to the belt). This model comes from England. |
