749 - English “Tantalum” liquor cabinet, ca. 1900, with three large faceted glass bottles featuring a geometric design. Made of oak with brass hardware, corner brackets, and two side handles, the structure features two hinged upper lids; unlocking them reveals five internal compartments and provides access to the bottles arranged at the front. 36 x 36 x 27 cm. Patented in 1879 by cabinetmaker John Betjemann and popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the purpose of the “Tantalus” liquor cabinet was to protect expensive liquors from the temptation of servants, guests, or the household’s minor children. The name “Tantalus” for this type of furniture—in which the large bottles are on display but accessible only through a security lock— is a reference to the character of the same name from Greek mythology who, having angered the gods, was condemned to remain submerged up to his neck in a river of the underworld, above which hung fruits that remained forever out of his reach.
