Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A Regency cellarette is an early 19th-century wooden chest or cabinet specifically designed for storing and cooling wine bottles in dining rooms or during outdoor sporting pursuits.

Primary construction typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood, often featuring decorative flame veneers, zinc or lead internal linings, and cast brass handles.

Look for period-correct characteristics such as hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass lion mask handles, original lock mechanisms, and natural patina or historical maker stamps.

Position the cellarette atop a mahogany sideboard or console table in a dining room, entry hall, or study to serve as a functional bar or decorative storage chest.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish annually, while keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
