Antique Encased Champagne Tap
A 19th-century English silver-plated Milne champagne tap, in its original velvet-lined, fitted leather case with two drop pins. The Milne drop-point mechanism releases the spike into the bottle once the cork is pierced, allowing champagne or seltzer to be drawn while preserving carbonation for future use. Dating to the late 1800s, this is a rare and elegant piece of Victorian barware and a striking collectible.
Circa 1900
French Champagne Tap
This long chapange tap is of French design. The steel tip screws directly into the champagne cork, while the knob is gently turned to release the pressure, allowing the champagne to pour from the dragon’s spout. This mechanism helps to preserve the carbonation of the sparkling wine for future enjoyment. A beautiful and functional addition to any bar cart.
Circa 1910
Ornate French Wine Cradle by Etain Royal
Early 20th century. Art-Deco design on pewter. As an homage to Etain's French heritage, the three Oak leaves (France's Official Tree) add decorative & thoughtful detail.

French Zig Zag Corkscrew
Crafted from steel, this classic French corkscrew features an articulated scissor-style “zig zag” mechanism. The design provides controlled leverage, extending during use and folding compactly for storage. The surface displays a naturally aged steel patina consistent with authentic vintage bar tools. Carefully cleaned to preserve both its original finish and fully functional mechanism. Design originally patented in 1919 by Jules Bart, this particular model is midcentury.
