Antique Edwardian English Silver Plated & Cut Crystal 3 Bottle Tantalus and Key

About the Item

This silver plated three bottle tantalus has no maker's marks, but is presumed to have originated from England and date to approximately 1900 and done in the period Edwardian style. The tantalus is composed of silver plate with a sturdy locking spring loaded mechanism which opens when the key is turned. The three bottles are done in a heavy cut crystal with faceted ball stoppers. Please note the crystal bottle presented in the middle of each photograph is a bit smaller and lighter than the outer two which we believe is a replacement.
