This early nineteenth-century Regency wine cooler takes a sarcophagus form in warm brown mahogany. The piece stands on a plinth base, showing a stepped top beneath a stepped lid, scroll-shaped side handles, and a central circular panel on the front fitted with a Bramah lock and a decorative tassel key ring. Interior partitions and the original lining remain inside. Measurements are 80 cm long, 54 cm high, and 50 cm deep. Position this freestanding item in a dining room or living space as a decorative storage container for bottles or glassware. The traditional proportions make it suitable for placement against a wall or beside other period furniture.

FAQs

A cellarette, or wine cooler, is a decorative wooden cabinet or chest designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to store and chill wine bottles in dining rooms.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany or rosewood, often featuring lead linings inside to contain ice and moisture, alongside brass fittings and castor wheels.

Authentic Regency examples often feature sarcophagus-shaped stepped lids, classical architectural moulding, scroll handles, dovetailed joinery, and original lead-lined interiors or key escutcheons.

A mahogany cellarette can serve as a functional statement storage chest or low side accent in contemporary dining rooms, halls, or living spaces.

Dust the wooden surface regularly with a soft cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish periodically to preserve the natural patina while keeping the timber away from direct heat sources.
