Named for a mythological Greek figure who was punished by Zeus and made to go hungry and thirsty for eternity, the Trafalgar Triple Tantalus features three lead crystal decanters housed in a handled case made from Macassar ebony that almost shimmers with a high-gloss piano finish. When the case is locked, those decanters—and their liquid contents—are inaccessible. Fortunately, owners can avoid Tantalus’ fate with a simple twist of the key. $6,500; davidlinley.com
