This William IV mahogany cellarette takes the form of a neat-sized chest of drawers, finished in a warm brown colour with a polished top and moulded edges. The timber shows visible grain across the rectangular top and three drawer fronts, complemented by key escutcheons placed above each pair of hardware items. Six cast brass lion-mask drop handles furnish the front, while four turned bun feet support the enclosed plinth base at the bottom. Measuring 75 cm high, 65 cm wide and 49 cm deep, this 19th-century piece serves as a traditional gentleman's library storage unit. It fits well in a study, library or living room to hold drinks, bottles or small household accessories while maintaining a classic furniture profile.

FAQs

A cellarette, also known as a wine cooler, is a specialized wooden cabinet or chest designed to house and store wine and spirit bottles, commonly featured in dining rooms throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Pieces from the William IV period were typically constructed from solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers, featuring cast brass lion-mask ring handles, hand-cut dovetail joints, and zinc or lead interior linings.

Authentic items from the 1830s present substantial proportions, bold turned bun feet, original brass lock hardware, and natural signs of timber age and patination consistent with nineteenth-century cabinetmaking.

A compact cellarette can function as a side table, accent piece, or dedicated drinks station within a modern dining room, hallway, or living space.

Regular maintenance requires dusting with a lint-free cloth and applying beeswax along the wood grain twice yearly while maintaining stable room humidity away from direct heat sources.
