About

Serve in style with this sculptural French wine bottle holder, hand carved circa 1920 in the whimsical form of a traditional sabot clog. Crafted in walnut, the piece is richly decorated in high relief with trailing grapevines, clusters of fruit, and broad leaves, celebrating the vineyard motif so closely tied to French culture. The elongated shoe form is fitted with a curved handle at the heel, allowing for easy presentation and transport from kitchen to table or bar.
The exterior is finished in a striking two-tone palette, with a darkened ground contrasting against the warm walnut carving, highlighting the depth and detail of the decoration. The interior is smoothly hollowed to cradle a standard wine bottle securely, making it both decorative and functional. A wonderful Black Forest-style bar accessory, perfect for entertaining or adding character to a wine room or dining setting.
The antique bottle holder is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, with a beautifully aged patina and crisp carved details throughout.
Dimensions: 14″W x 5″D x 6″H
