In Stock

A rare and beautiful set of two liqueur decanters and six glasses, hidden in a colourful leather bound stack of books. A book tantalus of this quality is difficult to find, and the colours of this piece are very unusual and quite striking. The decanter set is very fine with beautiful gilded bands around the decanters and glasses in classic Art Deco style.

AGE:
Antique: 1920s

CONDITION:
Good: One glass has unfortunately been broken. It has been glued together and placed in the case for symmetry but cannot be used. The case shows signs of wear to the corners and sides of the leather book covers.

I’ve never been a fan of vintage / second hand shopping until I walked into Greystones Antiques. The products are in immaculate condition and all so beautiful - I went to pick up one chair but honestly I was overwhelmed with how much I wanted to buy (and left with much more than I expected to)!!!

Ella Kate

Amazing and friendly service. I purchased a 1930's Vanity Dressing Table and Mirror. The delivery was easy and this piece is exactly what I was looking for. It's in amazing condition and it was a very fair price!
