20th-Century French “Zig-Zag” Expanding Corkscrew

A wonderfully sculptural French corkscrew with the distinctive “Zig-Zag” handle and an expanding series of articulated levers. The clever mechanism extends upward to help draw a cork, combining practical ingenuity with the charm of traditional French barware.

Its folding form makes it an eye-catching addition to a drinks tray or collection of vintage wine accessories.
