Our corkscrew was misplaced last week – what a disaster! It was only at dinnertime, after all the shops had shut, that our predicament came to light. Our Friday night wine seemed a distant dream! Luckily, Justin has a corkscrew as one of the tools on his keychain Swiss Army knife.
Disaster averted… but have you ever tried opening a bottle of wine with a half inch long corkscrew? If we can’t find it soon, we’ll have to invest in a new one.
Here are three corkscrews which span a huge range in price – which of them would you choose?
Here’s a selection of some recent vintage finds for you to peruse at your leisure.
We’ll start with the vintage leather luggage items. They always prove popular in our antiques centre space and look great arranged in stacks and groupings. The different shapes and colours work really well together.
Moving on to a bit of vintage industrial styling. We love these hanging task lights with their cage bulb covers. They look fantastic hanging from the ceiling in a dark corner or above a dining/work table. The addition of a old fashioned filament bulb and flex finishes them off perfectly.
These vintage French corkscrews have an industrial feel too with their mechanical concertina-like action. They look good and are useful (very useful) too!
This next item caught our eye immediately as we really like old letters, signs & stencils. This ‘EXIT’ sign is made from what looks like zinc metal with a painted surface. We like the yellow colour and aged patina.
And a bit of classic vintage-retro now. We always have a good selection of vintage desk lamps available in the antiques centre. Having a choice of colours is ideal, so this lovely bright red example can join their number.
And last but not least, this gorgeous 1950s biscuit tin. It has colourful and playful decoration with a Spanish theme. Perfect for those home-made biscuits or cupcakes. All these recent vintage finds are being listed in our online shop or on eBay this week so get in touch if you see anything you’d like.
