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 wine cooler, or cellarette, is a free-standing wooden chest designed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to hold and chill wine bottles. The sarcophagus shape is characterised by tapered sides and a stepped lid inspired by classical antiquity.

Georgian wine coolers were typically constructed from solid mahogany or flame mahogany veneers, often lined with lead or zinc to hold ice, and fitted with brass carry handles and lock escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-planed interior surfaces, original brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and timber displaying age-related patina and shrinkage consistent with historical construction.

A cellarette functions effectively as a side table or standalone storage chest in a dining room, hallway, or study, providing historic character alongside modern barware or decorative ceramics.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
