STUNNING mid-Victorian Decanter box from circa 1860-1880.

Made in Dublin, makers brass label on the interior, for ‘T.K. Austin & Co., Dublin’, the most famous top quality Merchant in Dublin in the mid to late 19th Century.

Made for Military Campaign purposes, it has brass recessed (fold-in) handles and brass banding on all edges.

Made of highly desirable Coromandel Wood from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka).

The lid opens on hinges that fix into position.

It is monogrammed on the top bearing the original owners initials.

The interior is lined with the original purple velvet and inside the top it has 4 brass hooks for attaching liquor glasses. We have found that Waterford Crystal Port Glasses fit perfectly.

The lock and fittings are all of the best quality and marked “R.C & S” in a Crown.

Being sold with contemporary Galway Irish Crystal Decanters, which fit perfectly and do not contain lead, so are safe to use !

As an ADDED BONUS, we are selling this with a number of silver liquor labels.

4 Sterling Silver Liquor Labels – Really nice set of 4 solid silver and hallmarked Liquor (Decanter) Labels. Hallmarked, English, Birmingham, Maker ’CR&S’.

‘Brandy’, ‘Port’ and Gin ‘labels’. Letter ‘g” for 1906.

“Vodka” label. Letter ”f” for 1905.

Also an earlier Silver plate (EPNS) example for the Scottish liqueur, ‘Drambuie’. Probably Scottish, circa 1900.

Also a matching pair of early 20C silver plate labels for ‘Whisky’ and ‘Sherry’.

Highly expensive piece when it was made and only a very wealthy “Irish’ Army officer could have afforded this !!

The decanters alone cost over $1,000 and the Silver Labels are worth over $500 less
