We now have a range of Carrs Silver of Sheffield Tantalus available online through our Cutlery website.

The collection features triple, double and single tantalus in either a mahogany finish or solid oak. All tantalus are designed with a locking hinged front flap to allow access to the decanters, and may include hallmarked sterling silver brackets - which look stunning.

Decanters available include henley, plain and linear hand cut 24% lead crystal spirit decanters with either plain or cut crystal stoppers and Carrs hallmarked silver mounted collars.

Reminiscent of times gone by; Tantalus were used by the gentry to stop servants stealing the spirits contained within, inded the name originates from an Old English word meaning “something desirable but just out of reach”.
