This is a beautiful example of this style champagne tap with ebony wood handle the handle screws out of the valve housing and is attached to a sharp spike (trocar).

Now the wood handle is screwed out of the shaft and the spike/wire is withdrawn from the trocar. Then the tap is closed with the side valve until the champagne is needed.

Condition: The tap is used and shows signs of light use scuff and scratched in the metal finish, wood handle is extremely nice.
