Vintage ANRI Hand-Carved Wood Musical Barware Set, expertly crafted in Italy, circa 1950s. This highly collectible mid-century set features the whimsical "Singing Trio" (often styled after a barbershop quartet or street singers) mounted on a solid wooden base.
This multi-tool novelty mechanical piece functions as both an interactive conversation starter and a hidden barware utility set. The heads of the three carved gentlemen lift off to reveal three different essential bar tools:• Left Figure: Heavy-duty metal bottle opener
• Center Figure: Spiral corkscrew
• Right Figure: Functional cork bottle stopperTucked discreetly behind the figures is a stylized brown suitcase that serves as the casing for a built-in mechanical music box. The underside retains its original stamped paper label confirming the tune played is the classic "Sweet Adeline" (Item no. 1318 a) alongside a faint purple stamped mark reading "Made in Italy".
ANRI woodcarvings from the Val Gardena region are celebrated for their expressive character work, vibrant hand-painted details, and high-quality craftsmanship. This distinctive bar set is an absolute must-have for vintage barware enthusiasts, mechanical music box collectors, or fans of mid-century Italian folk art.Condition Note for Buyers:
