An An early 20th century French leather bound Tantalus in the form of a stack of books, the exterior of Morocco leather with tooled and gilt decoration, the hinged lid enclosing two clear glass decanters and stoppers, 29.5cm high x 30cm wide x 21.5cm deep
If there is no condition report shown, please request
One decanter measures 10cm wide x 20.5cm high with the stopper. Without the stopper it measures 17.5cm high.
The stoppers are not the correct ones for the decanters. One is very damaged and the other has many small chips. There are lots of small chips to the bottles and the bases are scratched. They also look scratched on the inside. We think they are English but we are unsure who the maker is.
On the tantalus, there is wear to the decoration, losses and cracks. There is no key. It measures 30cm wide x 23cm deep x 30cm high. The interior of the tantalus has age related wear and no apparent damage. It is sturdy. Please see the condition report images.
