An authentic piece of contemporary South African functional art, this iconic lever-action corkscrew exemplifies the signature anthropomorphic style pioneered by renowned designer and sculptor Carrol Boyes. Boyes, who founded her studio in Cape Town in 1989, became globally celebrated for transforming mundane utilitarian homeware into tactile, expressive sculpture. Titled 'Uplifted', the piece integrates an elongated, stylized human figure into the functional lever mechanism, cast in high-polish chrome-plated alloy and stainless steel. It proudly displays the laser-engraved "CaRRoL BoYeS" maker's mark along the base collar.
Dimensions: 16cm (h)

Condition: The piece is in very good pre-owned condition with a clean, high-shine polished finish and smooth mechanical movement, showing only light cosmetic surface handling marks consistent with gentle use.
