Art Deco Sterling Silver Cocktail Whisk/Swizzle Stick
This is such a great find! It’s a beautiful vintage Art Deco Sterling Silver retractable Cocktail Whisk or Swizzle Stick Stirrer, perfect for mixing drinks. It would be a fantastic barware accessory. It comes in a gift bag and is a very special present. It’s made of Sterling Silver and has a retractable whisk that be pushed out to mix drinks or the stick can be used as a stirring cocktail stick. It has a beautiful engraved design to the sides and a loop at the end so it can be attached to a chain. It has Sterling and Made in England stamped on the side of it. The silver is shiny with some patina, particularly on the central prong near the ball. There are a number of dents to the side and the central prong isn’t entirely straight. The mechanism works well although it’s not completely smooth as it goes over the dents when opening and closing. It weighs 5g. It measures 12.4cm when fully extended (just over 4 7/8 inches) and 8.3cm when retracted (3 1/4 inches).
