Vintage 20th Century Italian Art Deco Tantalus Set c.1930
About the Item
A 20th Century Art Deco Italian made wood and chrome Tantalus, featuring a wooden base with a chrome locking mechanism. Three cut-glass decanters with stoppers are securely housed in the lockable frame. A sophisticated way to entertain guests, this Tantalus also serves as a striking conversation piece or an exceptional gift. Originally designed to securely store liquor decanters, they were a symbol of both sophistication and restraint, with the term "tantalus" derived from Greek mythology, where Tantalus was eternally teased by unreachable water and fruit.
The sets typically featured a locking mechanism, often requiring a key or hidden button to open, adding an element of intrigue and security. As the 20th century progressed, these sets evolved and became more of a decorative piece for the household.
