Impressively-scaled ‘flame’ figured mahogany wine-cooler with broad canted tapering corners , applied carved mouldings to the top and bottom edges , raised on a plinth base with original recessed brass castors on the underside. The end sides each fitted with a cast bronze carrying handle depicting a mask of Bacchus, God of wine and celebration.
