About the Item

A mid century Italian made bottle opener by experimental furniture designer Aldo Tura, 1950s to 1960s. Famous for using unusual materials such as eggshells, lacquered parchments, wood veneers and leathers, Tura's work was hard to replicate or mass produce. His pieces can be found in a variety of colors, though chocolate brown, green, red and yellows seemed most prevalent. Occasionally, though rarely, one may find an item in violet or dark blue. Tura's designs enveloped everything cabinets, coffee tables and dining sets to trinket boxes and ashtrays. All wrapped in opulent lacqured materials and brass, which was often gold plated. Most notable are his bar carts and bar cabinets. Each luxurious piece complemented with bar accesories such as ice buckets, cocktail shakers, carafes, nut bowls, ashtrays and of course, bar tools. This lacquered goatskin and gold plated brass bottle opener still bears its original Tura manufacturers label. This piece is in excellent condition and ready to grace your bar or bar cart.
