A cellaret is a lockable container or cabinet used in the 18th and early 19th centuries to hold bottles of wine and spirits beneath the dining table or sideboard before they were served.

These items are typically constructed from dense timbers such as mahogany, often featuring coopered stave construction reinforced with heavy brass bands and fitted carry handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate hand-cut dovetailing, period brassware with natural oxidisation, hand-coopered timber construction, and authentic interior lead linings or bottle compartments.

Such versatile pieces can be repurposed as low side tables, sculptural plant stands, or fireside storage for logs, adding architectural interest and historic texture to contemporary rooms.

Maintain the timber by applying microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the grain, and clean the brass gently without abrasive compounds to preserve the historic patina.
