This early Victorian mahogany cellarette dates to around 1830 in the Regency style, taking a low, rectangular sarcophagus form with tapering, panelled sides and a dark brown timber finish. The interior holds an original metal lining, while the exterior displays a moulded top edge and stands upon four short turned feet. The woodwork shows a rich grain pattern across the main body, paired with plain inset panels on the ends. Measuring 47 cm high, 89 cm wide and 61 cm deep, the piece sits at a convenient height to place in an empty corner of a living room, hallway or study. Homeowners today use such boxes to hold logs by a fireplace, display plants, or store books and magazines within easy reach while adding traditional character to the interior.

FAQs

A cellarette is a small furniture piece or freestanding container designed to hold and cool wine bottles, commonly used in formal dining rooms during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These items were predominantly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, and fitted with lead or zinc metal linings to retain ice and prevent water leakage.

Authentic nineteenth-century examples typically feature hand-cut joinery, rich flame mahogany veneers, original fitted metal linings, and period-appropriate turned or carved feet.

In contemporary interiors, cellarettes are frequently repurposed as decorative indoor planters, log or kindling holders beside fireplaces, or low-profile storage containers.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax annually, while wiping the metal interior dry to prevent oxidisation.
