This is a really lovely Antique French zinc bottle carrier dating from around 1910.
This carrier has not been restored at all, the rivets holding everything in place are all the originals and it is in great working condition, the wooden handle has worn to a wonderful patina. It is strong and sturdy and will have no problem carrying six full bottles.
The dividing metal straps are twisted, I believe this was always done so that the bottles always were placed against a flat surface and there was no risk of scratching or damaging.
This is a really fabulous vintage French carrier that exudes rustic charm and would look wonderful in any kitchen. Imagine it filled with wine bottles for all to see and admire.
The carrier measures 34.5cms (13.58") tall including the handles
and is 30cms (11.8") long x 20cms (7.87") wide.
