Fine Antique Robert Adam style Shell Inlaid Mahogany 4 Decanter Box Intact Glass Tray & Decanters. This is the finest Georgian Decanter Box I have ever had. One tiny piece of veneer missing from base of outside of box and I do not have a restorer available at present to do the proper job that an 18c box like this deserves. The box measures 8.25 by 7.5 by 8.5 inches high. The contents, given their age and delicacy are in amazing condition. One decanter has a tiny chip to one lip which is covered by the original gilding so that chip has clearly been there since the day it was made. The box is fitted for a single tot glass to be tucked in a slot in the lid. This glass does have a chip to the rim and worn gilding as shown. Stoppers do have the odd tiny chip here and there but are in really remarkable condition compared to any other sets I have seen of this sort of age. This is a very unusual item with good provenance as it came from the attics of Spetchley Park seat of the Spetchley-Berkeley family in Worcestershire, a branch of the Berkeley family from Berkeley castle in Gloucestershire.
