- Striking Oak & Brass Tantalus with Whiskey or Liqueur Crystal Decanters & DrawerLocated in Lisse, NLLarge size and great design, antique tantalus. This wonderful condition and rare, three crystal bottles holding, tiger oak tantalus will look great everywhere. This handcrafted work of beauty dates from the late 1800s and it comes with a variety of striking details and compartments. The two folding lids come with beautifully silvered brass hinges and the lock works perfectly via the original key. It is only when you have opened the lids that you can press the silvered button in the middle (it is on a stick) to open the secret drawer below. In the back of the secret drawer is a game that we have never seen before (see image 11) and we don't know if it is complete. The secret drawer can also be used to keep decks of cards and alike. Also, only when the lids are open, will you be able to take out the bottles as well. For those who did not yet know, these striking 'minibars' with lock and key were created so that the butler or maid or any other non-family member could not secretly drink the very expensive liquids that these decanters would have held.

- Rare Pair of Doulton Lambeth Vases with Striking Golden & Enameled Flower DecorBy Doulton LambethLocated in Lisse, NLWonderful pair of handcrafted 19th century vases. When it comes to truly stylish and beautiful pottery nothing is as attractive as the pieces that were being created in Europe around the turn of the century. The designs, the colors and the quality reveil that both the designers and the potters in those days truly were 'on the top of their game'. And people who could afford those striking pieces, were able to decorate their homes in the most beautiful way you can imagine. In this day and age we sometimes see new interiors (also of the 'well to do') and because everything is machine made they lack both quality and beauty and because of that some places just don't come alive. They lack the soul that true artisans are capable of creating in their pieces. That attention to quality and detail is exactly what makes this rare and striking pair of vases stand...Category

It is of a hazel-brown color, with black stripes (or the other way about), very heavy and hard. It is also known as Macassar Ebony or variegated ebony and is closely related to genuine ebony, but is obtained from different species in the same genus; one of these is Diospyros quaesita Thwaites, from Sri Lanka. The name Calamander comes from the local sinhalese name, 'kalu-medhiriya', which means dark chamber; referring to the characteristic ebony black wood. Coromandel wood has been logged to extinction over the last 2 to 3 hundred years and is no longer available for new work in any quantity. Furniture in coromandel is so expensive and so well looked after that even recycling it is an unlikely source. A substitute, Macassar Ebony, has similar characteristics and to the untrained eye is nearly the same but it lacks the depth of colour seen in genuine Coromandel. Bramah is London's oldest security company. Established at 124 Piccadilly, London in 1784, and today based in Marylebone, London and Romford, Essex. Bramah made their first lock in 1784 and the patent was awarded in 1787. The designer was Joseph Bramah. Joseph Bramah was a leading inventor of the industrial revolution, patenting over 18 new ideas, including a new valve for the water closet (toilet), the hydraulic pump, a fountain pen, and a fire engine. Bramah also introduced a beer hand pump for use at the bar, to prevent fluid loss when barmen went downstairs to pour a new jug! Due to the quality of his manufacturing, his name became a by-word amongst British Engineers for engineering excellence and many of his inventions are on display in the Science Museum in London. You can find one of his original toilets still working in Osborne House, Queen Victoria's home on the Isle of Wight. The Bramah lock was unique and advanced property and valuables protection enormously. Indeed it was 50 years ahead of any Chubb lock...Category
