FAQs

A Regency sarcophagus wine cooler, also known as a cellarette, is a dining room storage chest designed to hold ice and wine bottles. Taking inspiration from classical antiquity, these pieces feature tapered sides and a lid mimicking ancient sarcophagi, prominent during the early 19th century.

Cellarettes were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany, often decorated with flame mahogany veneers. The interiors were typically lined with lead or zinc to retain ice and prevent water leakage from damaging the timber structure.

Authentic Regency cellarettes exhibit hand-carved details such as gadrooning, reeding, or scroll feet, alongside hand-dovetailed joinery. Look for signs of age in the interior timber oxidation, period-correct brass escutcheons, and natural wear around the base and handles.

In modern interior schemes, a large cellarette serves as an impactful architectural anchor along a dining room wall, underneath a sideboard, or within a wide entryway. It functions as an ideal conversation piece, occasional storage box, or bar cabinet.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the timber from warping or splitting. Preserve the original finish by applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year with a soft cloth, buffing gently along the grain.
