Antique Crystal Decanters / Tantalus EPNS Liquor Caddy / Crystal Decanter Set / circa 19th Barware Decanters / England Sterling Silver Tags

This is for a wonderful Antique bar set. This is for a Silver plated (EPNS) tantalus* decanter set. The handle is hinged and has cameo styled pieces on the front and back with Victorian styled feet and 3 separated spots for the decanters. This is sold as a set and includes the 7 items shown. The holder is stamped with EPNS and the makers Initials of JG over an S in a shield on the base. There is also a small flower with the number 1 at the other end of the base. I believe it to be from England and the late 19th century per research and styling. This is in very nice condition esp due to age. There is no missing silver plate or noted areas with the under metal showing. One nut missing on the underside, with no other noted issues.

*A tantalus is a container for holding two or three glass or crystal bottles of alchoholic drinks. A tantalus may take various forms, the most common being made from silver, silver plate or wood with the three bottles in a circle or two bottles in line with a central handle. A larger version has three bottles in a line with two end supports and a horizontal top and handle.

Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear.
