Description:

French Tantalus Set, 19th century, the brass-banded case with hinged top and sides revealing a fitted interior with gilt-metal stand supporting four glass decanters and thirteen cordial glasses, case lg. 12 3/4 in.
Estimate $300-500

The case needs a lot of work. Much of the brass inlay either missing or lifting. The case is quite dry with some cracking. Hinges to cover needs reattaching properly. There are two pairs of mismatched decanters, ten glasses that match, three glasses that match, and three glasses missing.
