The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the Victorian era, a tantalus is a stand or frame designed to hold spirit decanters. The key feature often involved a lockable bar mechanism, keeping the contents visible while preventing unauthorized consumption.

Victorian decanter stands were commonly crafted using electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or solid sterling silver for the frame, paired with hand-cut lead crystal or pressed glass decanters featuring geometric diamond or star patterns.

Authentic pieces usually feature manufacturer makers marks stamped on the base or frame, along with hallmarks indicating electroplating standards such as EPNS. The glass decanters typically show hand-cut diamond patterns and matching stopper numbers.

Place the decanter stand on a dark wood sideboard, a marble-topped console table, or a dedicated drinks trolley to add classic structure and functional barware storage to contemporary living or dining spaces.

Clean the silver-plated frame with a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads that wear down the plating. Wash the glass decanters by hand using warm water and mild soap, drying immediately to prevent water spots.
