Own a Piece of History: Exquisite French-Style Tantalus Liquor Box

PICKUP ONLY: Pick up from any of our retail locations or from our auction warehouse.

 

Class and sophistication meet in this captivating vintage Tantalus liquor box. Possibly dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, this piece exudes French style. With its brass frame and crystal or thick glass accents, this box is a true conversation starter in any room.

Imagine the allure of displaying your favorite decanters (not included) behind the double-locking doors, accessible with the working key that comes with the Tantalus. Open the doors to reveal a mirrored base and a sliding glass or crystal tray, designed to elegantly hold up to 4 decanters and 16 small glasses (also not included). The weight of the Tantalus, estimated at 30 to 40 pounds, speaks to its quality and durability.

While the exact origins of this piece remain a mystery—there are no visible manufacturing stamps or identification marks—its timeless design and functionality are undeniable. This Tantalus is more than just a liquor box; it’s a conversation piece that will add a touch of vintage grandeur to your space.

Don’t miss this opportunity to add a remarkable piece of history to your collection. Bid on this exquisite Tantalus today and elevate your home bar or living room with a touch of French flair.
