A Very Fine Early 19th Century Irish Sarcophagus Shaped Cellarette Or Wine Cooler On Paw Foot

£3,425    $4,570    €4,065
A very fine early 19th Century Irish well figured flame mahogany cellarette or wine cooler of sarcophagus form. This exceptional piece is finely hand carved with a deeply rich patination, beautiful grain and well cast brass fittings throughout. The moulded, panelled and crossbanded top with canted corners features a hinged lid which opens upwards to reveal a lined interior which houses a fitted section of eight compartments to store bottles. The simple frieze is raised over an elegantly tapering body with reeded panels to the central reserves flanked with beautiful fluted detail to the canted corners and is fitted with a brass escutcheon and key, supported on a stunningly detailed lion paw foot, finely carved in high relief.
