A handsome Victorian silver-plated bottle holder, combining an ingenious adjustable design with beautifully engraved decoration. The sweeping curved handle features scrolling foliage surrounding a vacant oval cartouche, complemented by an engraved collar and decorative side screw.
Loosening the side screw allows the lower support to slide up or down to suit the height of the bottle, before tightening it into position. The collar fits around the bottle’s neck, while the hooked support sits beneath its base, creating a handle for pouring.
Suitable for many champagne, red and white wine bottles, depending on their shape and dimensions, this is a charming addition to a beautifully laid table and a thoughtful gift for a wine enthusiast.
With surface marks and wear consistent with age and use, adding to its antique character.
Measures: Fully extended 36cm When at its shortest length: 26cm widest point 12cm from edge of the handle to the edge of the bottle neck holder.
