19th Century French Ormolu Mounted Rounded Globe Style Tantalus Liquor Set

Product Description

An Unusual 19th century French Ormolu Mounted Globe Style Tantalus liquor set. The round globe top which rests on an elongated ormolu base is not common to find. The crystal top is mounted in an ormolu case and consists of three hand-cut crystal bottles and five-hand-cut crystal glasses. The globe top tilts to one side, similar to how the earth tilts towards the sun, on an angle. The crystal body has a beautiful lattice pattern.
