Wine Bottle Holder, Roman CHARIOT 1930 created by Max Le Verrier - crafted in Bronze as a Sculpture, an incomparable Unique Work of Art

I decided to offer for Sale my extraordinary and rare Art Deco Antique WINE BOTTLE HOLDER, truly a Work of Art, hand forged in solid Bronze with brownish patina and from world famous French Sculptor, Max LeVerrier. Unsurpassed in Quality, Workmanship and Detail and impossible to completely describe. I have only seen 2 such examples in more than 30 years of collecting. Look closely at the larger Photo to see some of the Details, e.g. knobnails on the Wheels to stop it from moving, the decorative coninuous design on the side of the Wheels, every cm of Bronze is Engraved, or Decorated in raised Relief. The HANDLE in itself is a work of art in Bronze with the Head of a Ram.

The Wheels and the Chariot are built to scale. Wheels come apart & they Turn, the Chariot rolls and reminds one of Ben Hur's Chariot. Design & Construction were 'Brilliant'. Designed to be used on a Table possibly for Decoration, or, instead of a Bottle place a Pot of Flowers as a Centerpiece, or, just use your imagination as it is very versatile.

Created by Max le Verrier in his own Foundry and his Great Grandson in PARIS wrote to me confirming its Authenticity, Uniqueness and its RARITY!

DIMENSIONS: 22,0cm Long x 11,0cm Wide x 11,0cm High and Weighs approx. 1.2 Kilos.

This Wine Bottle Holder is both Decorative and Practical as well as a Table Conversation piece with a Pot of Flowers and used as a Centerpiece or, just use your imagination.

Condition, Workmanship, Design, Construction & Quality are Simply Outstanding,

I have a short Biography on Max LeVerrier on my Daily Blog page.

English Silver Plated Wine Bottle TILTER, Wine Decanter or Wine Bottle Cradle - Rare

Extraordinary and substantial Vintage DISTRIBUTEUR A VIN for any Bottle of Wine, or, for Champagne, Cognac etc. this French Decanter which doubles as a Wine Bottle Holder is a Mechanical marvel. Otherwise known as a 'Verseur à Vin à Vis', or, in England, a "Port Tilter"or, simply Wine Bottle Holder. DIMENSIONS are 47cm Tall, 28cm Wide and Weighs an impressive 2.8 kilograms. This Mechanical marvel must have been designed by an Engineering genius, using the principle of the pulley and screwpull system which operates effortlessly with a Botle in place, by turning the Wood Handle. This changes the position of the bottle from upright, horizontal or downward allowing the Wine, Cognac, Champagne etc. to be poured into a Glass. It functions by a handmade Mechanical System using a Screw Thread Mechanism with an L shaped Winder at the back, fitted with a very fine, small woodlen Handle. The handmade Mahogony wood Base rests on 4 Feet. This 'work of art' must have been a Custom Order for a Wine Chateau in Bordeaux, Burgundy etc. Circa 1950's.   CONDITION, WORKMANSHIP & QUALITY are simply Outstanding. What an amazing Decorative, Practical, Conversation and Presentation piece, and not seen very often at all.!
