Featured Old(?) w/beautiful wood portable bar - made in France

I found this today at a friend's thrift store. He sold it to me pretty inexpensive because he told me it was going to be hard to find the bottles for it. I thought it was a great box even without the insert tray.
The bottom has Made in France, but it looks like stencil (last pic of bottom of box, lower right corner; sorry close up of it didn't open on computer) - is this old or new?
I know it's a portable bar; is there another name (maybe a french name) for a container you can carry with you & have a bar wherever you like? (Seems a cowboy poker player would have/want something like this to relax customers?)
Any information would be appreciated - thank you!

Tantalus I remember from 1 I had before. Thank you!

 

Yours isn't Boule.

 

Not a Tantalus. AS the name suggests, those are drink holders which are locked.

 

It says Tantalus liquor cabinet in title and in description?
Should I just call it a French liquor cabinet?
Akso, I didn't see Boule, but when I searched Boule liquor cabinet I got this

What do I have? Can I say antique?

Isn’t it Geometric parquetry?

 

It's no longer on eBay (checked under Sold too) - and even dumbing down the search title to: antique vintage wood wine bar case
Not a one came up for sale or had sold - maybe link above was seller's guess?

When I put this I got some similar: antique vintage wood tantalus liquor cabinet

 

I would guess that this could be considered Deco - 1930s - but that's my opinion. The decoration is parquetry. Boule is a different, and specific, type of decoration.

 

I don't know if this helps but I found this.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was post-World War II. With its "Made in France" stencil, I certainly would be cautious about referring to it as "antique."

Any ideas of what I should put in search bar to find bottles for this?

 

French « Cave à liqueur », Napoleon 3 era (1870).

Good find journey.
I agree with those who say (or think) ca 1870 and parquetry.

Tried to tweak the photo, not succesfully, but are you sure it says Made in France?

 

The photo is upside down but I read Made In France.

 

It's also backwards.
