Description

A fabulous antique English Tantalus or decanter caddy by the best known quality maker, Betjemann's of London. The frame is silver plated and finished with two lavishly gilded decorative rope mounts. The front bears a very regal Armorial Family Crest and the reverse engraved with the date "September 23rd 1890".

Once the sprung Bramah lock is unlocked, the button is then pushed down allowing the bard to be pushed down allowing access to the three cut crystal decanters within. The lining in the base is all original and has been left intact, wear commensurate with age to the fabrics. The three square decanters measure 3" square and stand 8 1/4" tall to top of stopper, are cut in the ever-popular hobnail cut and are without damage.

An imposing looking example in excellent condition. The footprint measures 13 3/4" x 6 1/4" x 11 3/4" tall to top of handle.
