Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The case is made from Walnut with brass mounted brackets to each corner and a polished brass bar to the top keeping the precious contents of the decanter's away from the servants during the Victorian era.
The lock has a working key and once unlocked the button is pressed down to release the bar allowing access to the three large and hefty cut crystal decanters. These examples are about as exceptional as they get with a very unusual cut decoration, each decanter measuring 3 1/2" square x 9 1/4" tall.
Victorian in era and dating to around 1880, this exquisite Tantalus is in superb condition. The footprint measures 16" x 6 3/8" x 12" tall to top of handle.
