Anthony Short Antiques has dated this George III Mahogany Wine Cooler to the 18th Century.
A fine and elegant top quality late 18th century George III period cellarette of octagonal form, crafted in richly figured mahogany with a warm, mellow colour and a lovely aged patina, attributed to Gillows.
Opening the lid reveals the original fitted interior, with divisions for wine bottles and a central well for ice, lined in metal to keep the contents cool. Original brass lifting handles to either side make it easy to carry, and a central keyhole escutcheon is fitted with a working lock and key, so your best bottles stay safe. It stands on its original base with elegant square reeded tapering legs, finished with small brass castors, so it can be moved with ease. A rare survivor and a practical piece of period furniture. Equally at home as a statement piece in a dining room, a drawing room, it gives you an authentic touch of Georgian elegance and a stylish place to keep your wine.
