Georgian Mahogany Sarcophagus Cellarette

18th century
Description

This impressive early 19th-century mahogany cellarette is crafted in the refined sarcophagus form associated with the late Georgian and Regency periods. Fashioned from richly figured mahogany, it features a beautifully faceted lid with a raised central panel, framed by finely carved reeded mouldings that continue around the entire body. The tapering sides rest on a substantial plinth base, also decorated with matching reeded detail, giving the piece a strong, architectural presence.

Decorative carved shell-and-scroll handles enhance each end, adding both elegance and practicality. The hinged lid lifts to reveal the original zinc-lined interior, designed to hold wine bottles chilled on ice — a luxurious and practical feature for the period.

Well-proportioned and increasingly scarce in this condition, this Georgian cellarette makes a striking statement today, ideal as a drinks cabinet, storage chest, or distinctive decorative feature in a traditional or eclectic interior.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A sarcophagus cellarette is a Georgian-era wooden chest designed to store and cool wine bottles, characterised by its tapered, coffin-like form inspired by classical antiquity.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid or veneered mahogany, often lined with lead or zinc inside to hold ice, and finished with brass fittings or carved wooden handles.

Authentic Georgian examples feature hand-dovetailed joints, heavy mahogany construction, original brass or carved handles, and signs of historical interior lining or bottle dividers.

Position a cellarette as an occasional storage box in a dining room, placed beneath a sideboard or in an alcove, serving as a functional bar unit or statement piece.

Apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, avoid placing the item near direct heat sources, and clean dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
