Antique Black Forest Carved Wood & Glass Tantalus, Vitrine, Liqueur Bar, Cabaret
This is a rather unique put-together set, the old original hand carved & large Black Forest liqueur chest (sans original lift-out service tray) dates c.1850-1900, and still has all 4 complete and undamaged panels of wheel-engraved glass. It makes a nice vitrine for display of something other than its original intended contents, that missing tray and liqueur set. But it also is being offered here with a French lift-out liqueur service set by noted glass maker, Georges Sand, (Paris), which would have been a stand-alone from the same era. They actually do work nicely together, and if you've always wanted one of these glass-paneled wood chests to use as a vitrine for other things, this might be the perfect one to buy. Up top it has a cartouche with basket, bird, fruit carved into the oval. The outer vitrine box is in very good condition, really. Would that we had a spare set of the inner glassware to match the windows of it, and the matching wooden tray they'd fit into. But here it is - see what you might make of it as offered. Far below market, if you can use it.
Very good condition for age and type. The glassware shown (gold) does go with the Black Forest chest, and it has all but 2 of its original 12 liqueur cups, and the 2 decanters. There are no stoppers with the glass set, but otherwise no loss or damage to existing glass pieces in their Napoleon III era caddy. The outer BF chest has no breaks, no cracks, no lost nor damaged glass and is in very pretty condition as you see it. Large at 16" wide, 14" tall and 12" deep. Glassware shown would, priced separately, be $395. If you want just the chest, we can work that out, based on full-price ratios.

Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. Ebay is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
Insurance has been eliminated as an option by ebay, forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
