AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Elegant vintage sommelier set presented in a rigid brown leather-finish case (material indicated in keywords), designed for wine service. The set includes a lever-type corkscrew bottle opener, a pourer, a stopper, and a drip ring, all held in place by faux leather straps with contrasting stitching. Each accessory features a shiny metallic finish, combined with leather-look elements, for a decidedly retro and refined aesthetic.

The rectangular box opens flat to provide direct access to each piece. The interior is lined with dark velvet that protects and enhances the accessories. The lever bottle opener has a chrome head with an visible mechanism, typical of classic models, and a handle covered with a dark brown leather-look band stitched with orange thread. The pourer and stopper are also adorned with a strip of the same finish, highlighted by a gold button.

The drip ring, also encircled with a leather-look band, completes the set, allowing wine to be poured without leaving marks on the bottle. The exterior of the case, visible on the edge and inner sides, features a brown medium-grain leather-look covering, with a metal snap closure. The ensemble exudes an impression of quality and robustness, while displaying a retro look typical of wine accessories from past decades.

Note the visible stitching on all the fasteners, reinforcing the vintage style and solidity. No brand markings or inscriptions are visible on the open face of the case or accessories. The overall condition appears good, with no chips or major scratches observable in the photo. The overall aesthetic evokes elegant gift sets for wine lovers, often offered in the 70s to 90s.

Used item sold as is. Neat presentation, well-maintained accessories, generally satisfactory visual condition according to the photo. Some signs of use or slight surface marks may be present, consistent with a vintage accessory.

Did you know? The lever corkscrew, also known as a "rack sommelier," was popularized in the 20th century to facilitate the opening of wine bottles, particularly thanks to its mechanism for effortlessly extracting corks. Complete sets like this one are often used in hospitality and catering for their practicality and refined look.
