Victorian Antiques Decanter Humidor Games Box
About the Item
This Humidor Games Box is a monumental piece. Features like Brass mounts surround the box, whilst Brass handles feature on either side, matched with the Brass escutcheon appearing on the front.
Elegantly veneered in exotic Rosewood, this games box has beautiful floral marquetry features on the front, top and sides of this unique piece. There are three magnificent decanters and a drawer at the front of the box that is secured in place when the box is closed and locked.
A Bramah key is used to unlock this entertainment box which results in the two bevelled glazed doors springing up, allowing them to be opened - this also causes the sprung pin for the games drawer to be released. There is now ample space to tip forward and remove the large crystal-cut decanters, as well as the four matching spirit glasses and any smoking accessories kept in the cedar-lined central compartment.
An opening of the drawer at the front of the box reveals a luxurious interior comprised of solid Satinwood, containing several games which include a cribbage board, alongside natural and red stained bone counters, one full deck of cards and one stripped deck with rule cards for the games: 'De La Rue', 'Co's Whist' and 'Bezique'.
Among the contents of this tantalus box is its original Bramah key. In order to unlock, press into the barrel of the lock, maintain pressure and turn counterclockwise. The glazed doors will then spring up after this procedure. *Make sure you do not place the key inside these compartments.* To relock the door, simply push down on the glazed doors.
