• Art Deco Styling: The metalwork adheres to the period's preference for sophisticated simplicity, ensuring a visually light and highly functional design characteristic of the Jazz Age aesthetic.

• Three Brilliant Decanters: The set includes three matching, square-form decanters made from heavy-cut crystal or glass. The bottles feature intricate cut patterns and are topped with original facet-cut stoppers that beautifully reflect light.

The Tantalus design allows the decanters to be securely locked within the frame, showcasing the contents while preventing unauthorised access—a captivating piece of social history.

• Locking Mechanism: The central top bar is hinged and secured by a lock, preventing the stoppers from being lifted or the bottles from being removed when the handle is down.

• Original Key Present: This rare set includes its original working key, which ensures both the full historical function and a significant enhancement to its value and authenticity.

• Excellent vintage condition. The silver plate frame is bright with only minor tarnish or wear consistent with age. The crystal decanters are in superb order, with all three original stoppers intact and matching perfectly. A magnificent, ready-to-display piece of bar history from the Art Deco period.

• Weight - 7kg. Height - 10 inches.  Length - 13.5 inches.  Depth - 5.25 inches.
