Antique Victorian British Wine Bottle Case by Favell, Elliott & Co.
This piece of Victoriana was a table decoration case to hide an open bottle of wine as it was deemed crude and unattractive at the time to have alcohol openly displayed if it was not decanted in the appropriate manner.
These are hard to locate items especially in original working condition from such an esteemed maker.
