About the Item

Good size and rare design, antique tantalus This amazing condition and rare, three crystal bottles holding, tiger oak tantalus will look great everywhere. This handcrafted work of beauty dates from the early 1900s and it comes with two folding lids with beautiful brass fittings and a perfectly sliding drawer. When the folding lids are open, you can take out the bottles as well. For those who did not yet know, these striking 'drinks cabinets' 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. The crystal decanters and stoppers in this tantalus are original and they come with beautifully cut motifs. There also is the working lock with key and the beveled mirror behind the decanters is the original one as well. By the way, the shot-glasses are included too. Have you also noticed the stylish and strong handles with which this sizable and decorative antique can be moved around? The shape, size, materials and patina make this rare antique very pleasing to the eye. It will look great on a desk, dresser or drinks cabinet and with some of your finest whisky or brandy in it, it will look even better. Apart from some damage of the upper rim of one bottle (see image 13) this tantalus is in excellent condition. Mind you, our fair price for this rare and stylish, handcrafted antique even includes perfect packing (in a custom made box) and also worldwide shipping from our store to your door within 4 days. Measures: Maximum height 13.2 x width 14.3 x depth 10.5 inches.
