Art Deco Tantalus by Louis Prodhon
By Louis Prodhon
Located in New Orleans, LA
This French Art Deco coromandel and chrome-plated tantalus by Louis Prodhon allows one to enjoy the finest libations in style, even in the company of greedy hands. Crafted of luxurious coromandel and chrome, this marvelous case holds three square-cut glass Baccarat decanters. The purpose of the tantalus was to keep one's favorite beverages safe from unwanted consumption while still showcasing the contents within. To gain access to the liquor, simply insert the key and turn to unlock the handle and remove the decanter of your choice.
Found in India, Sri Lanka and other parts of Southeast Asia, coromandel, or calamander wood, is one of the most distinctive timbers in the world. Known for its distinct black and hazel striped coloring, this desirable wood has been used for centuries to make furniture, stringed instruments, and precious personal items such as this remarkable decanter box.

More From This Seller
View AllChinese Painted Book Cabinet, c. 1850
Located in Chicago, IL
This lacquered display cabinet from Shanxi province was crafted in the mid-19th century using traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery methods. The enclosed lower half was used for general storage and the open upper shelf was used to display precious objects such as vases, curios, or piles of books.
The exterior is darkened by a black lacquer finish and hand-painted with charming decorative motifs, including bronze censers, flower vases, scrolls, and scholars' objects. Original brass hardware secures the doors, now richly aged with a smooth patina and subtle oxidation. Unusual for its smaller scale, we love this painted cabinet in a children's bedroom or playroom as an unexpected bookcase or toy chest...
