Antique Corkscrews
Aside from wine racks and bottle carriers, the ultimate wine accessory is the corkscrew, a most popular collectible today. Corkscrew making goes back to the 18th century, with pieces showing superb craftsmanship in a wide range of shapes and models, from finely gilded pieces to exquisitely quirky pieces with unique and ingenious mechanisms. Prices achieved at our auctions range from £100 to over £5,000, with single-owner collections usually commanding a premium.
