A handsome mahogany tantalus, fitted with three cut‑glass spirit decanters and decorated with attractive brass mounts, complete with its original working key. One decanter has a couple of small chips to the rim, noted for accuracy, though they do not detract from the overall presence of the set. Unlocking the key releases the two doors, opening to reveal twin storage compartments, one of which is velvet‑lined. In front of the central decanter sits a discreet button which, when pressed, reveals a hidden drawer designed to store playing cards, counters, cribbage boards, and other gaming pieces. This is a wonderfully characterful piece, both decorative and functional, and would make a distinctive gift for oneself or someone special. A true conversation piece that brings a touch of elegance to any room.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
