Antique Georgian Mahogany Cellarette Wine Cooler Side Table

19th century
Description

A superb quality antique George III mahogany cellarette wine cooler dating to circa 1800, made from beautifully figured mahogany with a rich warm colour and elegant Georgian proportions.

The rectangular lift-up top has a moulded edge and opens to reveal the original fitted interior with individual bottle divisions. The gently tapering body is fitted with impressive original brass lion mask ring handles to the sides and stands on four finely turned tapering mahogany legs.

Although originally made as a wine cellarette, its proportions make it wonderfully versatile for modern interiors. It works beautifully as a side table, lamp table, occasional table or drinks table, while retaining its original purpose as a wine cooler and storage piece.

A particularly handsome and useful example of late Georgian cabinetmaking, combining fine timber, strong proportions and highly decorative original brass fittings.

Condition Report

A cellarette was designed during the 18th century to store and chill wine or liquor bottles in dining rooms. Often placed under or beside a sideboard, it held iced containers or zinc liners to keep spirits cold during formal meals.

Georgian cellarettes were predominantly crafted from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers due to the woods density and moisture resistance. Secondary features often included cast brass ring handles, zinc or lead linings, and steel lock mechanisms.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass carrying handles or escutcheons, and period-accurate turned or tapered legs. Traces of lead or zinc lining remnants and hand-planed interior drawer boxes also indicate 18th-century construction.

In modern interiors, a cellarette functions as an occasional side table, a compact bar cabinet, or a distinctive accent piece in a hall or living room. Its flat top allows for displaying lamps, books, or decorative glassware.

Mahogany surfaces should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and conditioned with a beeswax polish twice a year. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage, warping, or colour fading.
