Antique Mahogany Tantalus Glass Decanters Box

Here is an absolutely wonderful early 19th century Tantalus.  Dating from 1790-1805.  The box is made of a highly figured mahogany and is just as lushes and rich as can be.  It has an ivory escutcheon on the front of the box with a velvet lined interior.  The four decanters are early blown decanters with stoppers and enameled on the top with a lavish amount of gold gilding.  It has one cordial glass fitted in to the lid compartment.  Overall this dome top Tantalus is in fantastic condition – with a rich and mellow surface patina.  The Tantalus measures 7 ½”w x 9”h x 7 ½” deep and the decanters measure 6 5/8”h x 2 7/8”w.
