An exceptional and highly characteristic French grapevine corkscrew, handcrafted by Laurent Siret of Rochefort-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Loire wine region. This striking piece features a naturally sculptural grapevine root handle, each knot and curve shaped by nature, making every example truly one of a kind.
Lauret Siret, born in 1899, invented this type of corkscrew, patenting it in 1935. The richly patinated vine wood has been carefully mounted with a steel corkscrew, showcasing patina that speaks to decades of use in French wine culture. The organic form sits beautifully in the hand and evokes the deep connection between winemaker, vine, and table. Both functional and decorative, it is equally at home opening a bottle, in your home wine cellar or displayed as a rustic objet d’art.
Grapevine corkscrews signed by the inventor, Laurent Siret are rare highly sought after by collectors.
