Item: T1919
W 8.75″ D 4.75″ H 10″
This rectangular, small tantalus box was crafted of pale mahogany, with a fine, satinwood, string inlay around the top of the hinged lid, topped with a swan's neck bail handle. The interior is compartmentalized for three bottles and does retain two blown glass, case bottles. The bottles may not be original to the piece, but are period examples.
