A figural French silver direct-pull wine bottle opener or corkscrew, designed to replicate corkscrews made from natural boar’s tusk material. Acquired in France, the piece has a warm patina acquired over time. A perfect addition to a collection of corkscrews or barware, and a thoughtful gift for the wine lover.
