Description
Streamlined Art Deco Sterling Silver (.950) & Silverplate Corkscrew with Monogram 'S', Circa 1930
Sleek, architectural, and substantial, this vintage corkscrew is a striking example of Art Deco design rendered in .950 sterling silver"”an unusually high silver content surpassing standard sterling (.925). The hallmark, featuring the letter "S" flanked by crossed axes, is consistent with Japanese silverwork from the early 20th century, and the overall style echoes both Machine Age geometry and Moderne luxury. Its stepped profile and bold linear handle balance form and function, terminating in a robust steel worm for practical use. The flat planes and sharp angles reflect the elegant minimalism of the period.
A monogrammed "S" is subtly engraved at the top of the handle, enhancing the object's personalized charm without disrupting its symmetry. Measuring 3.25 inches wide by 4.25 inches high and half an inch deep, it has a satisfying hand weight and a commanding presence, making it equally suitable as a bar accessory or collectible objet d'art.
A refined gift for the sommelier, host, or Art Deco enthusiast, this rare corkscrew is both sculptural and utilitarian"”a timeless tool from the golden age of design.
