Brass Fleur-de-Lis Wine Key with Concealed Corkscrew

A wonderfully playful brass wine key fashioned as an oversized skeleton key, with an openwork fleur-de-lis handle and warm aged finish. The decorative handle unscrews from the hollow shaft to reveal a concealed metal corkscrew, transforming an ornamental object into a practical bar accessory.

Comparable key-shaped corkscrews appear among vintage French barware, although this example’s maker and country of manufacture remain unconfirmed. Its clever construction makes it an engaging conversation piece, lovely resting on a drinks tray or displayed beside a collection of wine accessories.
