About the Item
Elegant English silver-plated tantalus by Z. Barraclough & Sons, Leeds, dating from the late 19th century. This refined Victorian piece holds three beautifully cut crystal decanters with faceted stoppers. The silver-plated frame is finely crafted with a decorative handle and bears the original maker’s marks.
The silver holder with key mechanism and turning lock makes it a classic example of a lockable tantalus, designed to store fine spirits securely while presenting them with elegance. The tantalus is in good overall condition, with working lock and key included. The decanters show a few minor chips, not very noticeable due to the richness of the cut pattern.
A wonderful piece of Victorian craftsmanship, combining practicality and sophistication — ideal for collectors or as a statement accessory in a bar cabinet or library.
