Beautiful and Very Rare

Late 18th Early 19th Century

Georgian Dutch Marquetry

Tantalus and Decanters.

Circa 1780.

This beautiful tantalus set is an absolute must for the collector or interior decorator.

Dutch Tantalus sets are rare enough but what makes this box very rare is its Marquetry Design, as most are just plainly veneered.

All I can say is, try to find another one.

It does need some sensitive restoration as shown but on the whole is outweighed by its rarity.

The decanters themselves are all period but unfortunately one is cracked, one has a small chuck out of the rim and the stoppers are mixed. However, a little bit of searching will produce good replacements.
