AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three-Bottle Crystal and Oak Tantalus.
Elegant, classic British three-bottle Tantalus (lockable bar service with key), dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (the transition from the Late Victorian to the Edwardian period, circa 1900).
The frame is meticulously made from solid hardwood (mahogany/dark oak), with a superb natural period patina. It features an arched metal carrying handle and the iconic functional locking mechanism, with decorative aged-brass fittings. This particular model stands out for its integrated drawer in the base, opened by a button or concealed pull, ideal for storing liqueur glasses or bar accessories.
The set includes three high-quality square cut-crystal decanters/bottles, decorated with classic geometric diamond-point and radiant palmette motifs. All the bottles retain their original solid faceted crystal stoppers in a hut/diamond shape.
Excellent vintage condition, consistent with its age and secondary use. The wooden frame has slight, attractive wear to the patina, which attests to its age. The crystal in all three bottles is clear and bright, with no flaws, chips, or structural cracks. The key is included; the front opens and closes smoothly but does not lock. The key is the correct one, but the lock is not working; the mechanism should be checked.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces.
ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time.
Thank you very much
