Home Tableware & Barware | Vintage Early 20th Century Chests With Decanters and Glasses - 14 Piece Set NA72269

Extraordinary pair of chests with decanters and glasses.. Each vintage tantalus or hidden liquor box has two decanters and four glasses. They would be perfect in an office, home or boat.

Each set is a type of tantalus, cave à liqueur, that was lovingly created by crafts persons. The term "Tantalus" comes from Greek mythology. Tantalus was a mythological figure and king who greatly offended Zeus. Zeus punished Tantalus by making him stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding his grasp, and the water always receding before he could take a drink. So, too, this Tantalus makes the liquor out of reach.. We are delighted to present these unique sets.
