Antique Locking Tantalus, English, Oak, Decanter
This is an antique locking tantalus. An English, oak and silver plated decanter case by Fenton Brothers of Sheffield, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
Alluring tantalus with decorative appeal
Displays a desirable aged patina
Oak case shows fine grain interest with striking medullary rays
Cut glass in very good order throughout
Two-piece locking bar uniting both sides with sinuous handle to centre
Circular, working lock secures access to the decanters — key present
Shaped stile ends decorated with silver plated brightwork
Plinth base with attractive bracing in the Gothic revival taste
Trio of superb decanters with cut glass decorative finish and eye-catching faceted stoppers
