Description

We are please to offer this most unusual and fine quality tiger oak and silver plated tantalus made by the renowned silversmiths Walker & Hall of Sheffield, this has the most unusual but simple to use mechanism that we have seen on a Tantalus and believe it to be known as the " hold fast patent", in simple terms at the turn of the key the silver plated rack tilts the bottles to an angle that enables you to easily lift out and dispense your favorite tipple, there are three original antique glass bottles and stoppers with the added benefit of a set of silver plated drinks labels, there is a vacant silver plated cartouche to the front which could be engraved if it were for a special Christmas gift !!

The condition of the Tiger oak frame is lovely, there is minor expected wear to the silver plated mounts, the three bottles are perfect, the stoppers have the usual minor end nibbles, comes with original key and works to perfection, what a fantastic gift or for your own personal use.
