Early 20th Century Mappin & Webb Oak Fitted Bottle Case

1900 - 1920
Description

A early 20th century fitted oak presentation case by Mappin & Webb Ltd., dating from around 1900–1910.

Made from oak, the case has a simple rectangular design with a brass carrying handle to the top and a single hinged door to the front. The interior is lined in a deep blue velvet and fitted with a series of shaped compartments designed to hold its original contents securely.

The exact contents are now missing, although the tall narrow proportions and shaped velvet fittings suggest the case may originally have been made to hold a bottle, decanter or similar presentation piece.

The interior retains its original Mappin & Webb Ltd. maker’s plaque, while the blue velvet lining shows general wear consistent with age and use. The oak exterior has developed a warm colour with attractive grain and a good surface throughout.

H: 41 W: 23.5 D: 18.5 cm

Date of Manufacture

D and A Binder Ltd has dated this Antique Oak Bottle Case to the 1910s.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

This Edwardian bottle case dates from 1910 and originates from the workshop of Mappin & Webb Ltd. Produced in solid oak, the piece presents a rectangular silhouette displaying a warm brown timber colour with a straight grain surface, complemented by a curved brass carrying handle fixed to the top and a hinged front panel with a vertical orientation. General wear to the interior lining shows consistent use over time, while the exterior retains a polished finish. Measuring 41 cm high, 23.5 cm wide, and 18.5 cm deep, this compact container suits placement upon a sideboard top within a gentleman's library or study environment. The tall narrow proportions adapt easily for display purposes or secure storage on a tabletop surface, bringing period character to traditional interior schemes without occupying excessive space.

FAQs

Originally designed in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a fitted bottle case or tantalus is a specialised wooden cabinet or box made to store and transport spirit decanters or glass bottles securely.

High-quality period examples were crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak or mahogany, featuring dovetailed joinery, brass carrying handles, plush velvet or baize linings, and fitted interior compartments.

Authentic period pieces typically feature hand-cut joinery, solid brass hardware with natural oxidisation, maker marks or stamped escutcheons, and natural timber patination consistent with age.

Positioned on a sideboard, bar cart, or console table, an antique oak bottle case provides a functional focal point that adds historic texture and structure to contemporary dining spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to nourish the timber, avoiding harsh chemicals near metal fittings.
