This is a beautifully crafted tantalus, a traditional liquor decanter set designed to secure and display fine spirits. The set includes three crystal decanters, each with a faceted globe stopper and an intricate cut-glass pattern featuring crisscross and diamond motifs. The decanters are housed within a polished wooden frame, which has brass hardware, including a carrying handle top top and a small decorative keyhole lock at the front. The wood frame is constructed with hinged sides, and the design suggests a combination of elegance and functionality, allowing both protection and visibility of the decanters. This type of tantalus was historically used to prevent unauthorized access to valuable spirits, adding both security and sophistication to your bar.
