A Large Fine Quality Tantalus

This three bottle tantalus is one of the best examples we have ever owned. It is made by the top manufacturer Betjemann of London and was retailed at Mappin and Webb of 158-162 Oxford Street, London being jewellers and suppliers of top quality items.

The case is constructed in fine English oak and has been embellished with superb carved decoration . It has a heavy silver plate brass mechanism and fittings all of which have been re-plated to a high standard. The original decanters and stoppers have been deeply hand cut with a fine design and are in remarkably good condition with only the most minor of usage marks. They also retain a set of three slightly later hall marked silver labels, whiskey, gin and brandy hallmarked Birmingham 1926-7-8

The hinged mechanism is fully operational but unfortunately we do not have the key to lock it. We would recommend not to lock such an item due to loss of the key or failure of the antique lock.

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.
