FAQs

A wine cellarette is a specialised item of dining room furniture designed to house, cool, and transport wine bottles and spirits. Originating in the 18th century and continuing into the 19th century, these pieces were often lead-lined to hold ice for chilling wine during formal meals.

Cellarettes from this period were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, reinforced with brass bands, hinges, and carrying handles. The interior compartments were typically lined with zinc or lead to prevent water damage from melting ice.

Authentic 19th-century cellarettes feature hand-fitted joinery, period-correct brass hardware such as cast handles or binding hoops, and evidence of historical wear or lead/zinc interior linings. The underside of the wood often displays hand-sawn timber marks consistent with period craftsmanship.

A cellarette functions as an occasional side table, a standalone decorative accent, or a functional drinks cabinet. Placed in a dining room, study, or living area, it offers compact storage for modern barware while introducing historic texture to the room.

Wood surfaces should be regularly dusted with a soft cloth and conditioned with natural beeswax polish. Brass elements should be left unpolished if a natural patina is preferred, or gently cleaned with specialised non-abrasive metal cleaners to prevent chemical damage to adjacent timber.
