Tantalus Bar For Sale on 1stDibs

At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal tantalus bar for your home. A tantalus bar — often made from metal, wood and glass — can elevate any home. Your living room may not be complete without a tantalus bar — find older editions for sale from the 18th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A tantalus bar, designed in the Victorian, Art Deco or Georgian style, is generally a popular piece of furniture. You’ll likely find more than one tantalus bar that is appealing in its simplicity, but Betjemanns Sons, Mappin Webb and Jacques Adnet produced versions that are worth a look.

How Much is a Tantalus Bar?

Prices for a tantalus bar can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, they begin at $275 and can go as high as $55,000, while the average can fetch as much as $2,446.

Finding the Right Barware for You

Whether it’s streamlined or sophisticated, a bar area is always a welcoming feature in any home interior. A cheery well-made drink with friends and family has the potential to yield some unforgettable moments alongside those that aren’t easily remembered. And the only way to conjure that exemplary cordial is by putting the proper antique or vintage barware to work.

Essential barware equipment ranges from sterling-silver barspoons for mixing your cocktails in tall collins glasses to jiggers, shakers and strainers that allow you to whip up martinis and old-fashioneds.

From a design standpoint, some barware, such as our array of Art Deco glass whiskey sets or mid-century modern silver-banded tumblers crafted by Dorothy Thorpe, can help position your bar as a bold and attractive centerpiece to a room. At the very least, a carefully curated collection of barware can elevate with subtlety the bar’s nearby fixtures, as a handcrafted crystal decanter might do for your vintage 1960s bar cart.

As cocktail hour draws near, find inspiration in our gorgeous gallery of home bars in locales ranging from London to New York to San Francisco, and browse the exquisite selection of antique, new and vintage barware and glassware on 1stDibs.
