Description

A fabulous antique English Tantalus or decanter caddy by the well renowned silversmith, Daniel and Arter. The frame is silver plated and finished with two decorative beaded mounts, dating to the late Victorian era, around 1890.

Once the sprung Bramah lock is unlocked, the lever below the lock barrel is then pushed down allowing the bar to be pushed down, allowing access to the three cut crystal decanters within. The decanters sit on an old piece of yellow velvet which sits in the bottom of the base. The three square hobnail cut decanters measure 3 1/4" square and stand 8 3/4" tall to top of stopper; all are without damage.

The Tantalus came to me with the later sterling silver labels which I am including, each hallmarked for Birmingham 1976.

An imposing looking example in excellent condition. The footprint measures 15 1/2" x 7" x 12 1/2" tall to top of handle.
