AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Tantalus of Two Bottles in Crystal and Oak.

Elegant and classic British two-bottle Tantalus (lockable bar service), dating from the late 19th / early 20th century (Late Victorian to Edwardian period). The frame is meticulously built in solid dark oak with a natural aged patina. It features a top arched metal handle and a front locking mechanism with decorative brass hardware aged. Includes two square bottles in high-quality cut crystal, decorated with classic geometric motifs in diamond-point and radiant star. Both bottles retain their original crystal facet stoppers.

Excellent vintage condition, consistent with age and use. The wood shows light wear appropriate to patina. The crystal is flawless. It comes with the original key and the opening/closing mechanism works very well.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
