A detail of an Edwardian wardrobe I bought for less than the cost of a decently-built contemporary alternative. It's a bit beaten up but remarkably resilient. Nikon D700 + Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens. f/5.6; 1/60th.

Some years ago an antique corkscrew came my way. From one end of the handle erupted a dirty old brush. This was a feature of corkscrews from around 1780 to 1850. The purpose was to dust away debris from wax used to seal the bottle or fungus that might have accumulated on the cork. A neighbour with practical skills sawed the brush part off and reconstructed the corkscrew handle, making it the kind of tool you'd prefer to use rather than avoid. The photograph was made with a Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 lens on a Nikon D700. The background is a Penguin paperback book from circa 1971 entitled 'Cooking in a Bedsitter' by Katharine Whitehorn.
