THE
ART
OF
WINE
&
FOOD

|
dealing in wine & food-related antiques & curiosities
The Art of Wine & Food is about the passion of John Cunnington, the proprietor, for gastronomy.
From a corkscrew collection, a knowledge of wine history, a degree in viticulture, and a passion for wine and food-related objects, the business has become a leader in its field.
|
 |
Gastronomic objects are rare and sought by collectors worldwide. Dealers in old prints in France will tell you there is 'nothing available'. The truth is that images are set aside for specialist collectors, or overseas dealers. Our truffle-related, or absinthe material is often sourced in this way.
|
 |
You will see from the Objects for Sale section of the website that special interests include absinthe, foie gras, copper, viticulture, wine history, old menus and ephemera. The search for good items is continual.
Over the years the website has featured a 19th century duck press identical to that used at La Tour d'Argent, rare early wine-related paraphernalia as well as hundreds of early French champagne flutes . Winemakers have been fascinated by objects from the time of Louis Pasteur's 1866 treatise Etudes sur le Vin.

We no longer have a retail gallery and work exclusively on-line and can be contacted by email, or telephone during business hours. We buy and sell.
