Crystal Bottle Tantalus Cocktail set

An Elegant Art Deco Silver and Crystal Tantalus Decanter Set with lock and key and rack . Three cut crystal liquor decanters are housed in a silver bracket making it wonderful  for display  and  for serving . “Tantalus” is a mythological figure…and the name of this type of collected bottles on a rack refers to the fact that the liquor is “tantalizing” and appealing…yet  ”locked away” and not easily attainable.

But then  with  just a twist of the wrist the lock pops open and the silver arms open to allow the bottles to be removed from the rack ! The key has a gold metal tassel and the base has a great fluted design, resting on silver ball feet.
