A Rare 1920s European Hidden Book Tantalus
A Rare 1920s European Hidden Book Tantalus
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.

Antique: 1920s
CONDITION:
