A 19th century English Tantalus, walnut with brass, olivewood and satinwood, gold finish trim, with four decanters and 16 cordials glasses, 10.5"h x 12.5 x 9.5Some of the metal banding on the outside of the case is missing, but there are a couple of strips of it in the bottom of the case, that I believe could be used for repair, if desired. Please see photos. The glass is all in surprisingly good shape, couple of the liquor stems have very small flea bites on the corners, a photo of an example is attached.
