FAQs

A George III mahogany wine cooler, also known as a cellarette, is an 18th-century piece of dining room furniture designed to store and cool wine bottles. Constructed during the reign of King George III, these containers feature octagonal or oval timber bodies lined with zinc or lead to hold ice.

Georgian cellarettes were typically constructed from solid and veneered mahogany, reinforced with heavy brass straps or hoops to withstand the weight of water, ice, and glass. Internal compartments often contained sheet metal liners, while the bases featured square or turned legs with brass castors for mobility.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-hammered brass fittings, original lock mechanisms, and naturally aged timber oxidation on unpolished undersides. The presence of historical drainage holes, liner remnants, and hand-cast brass wheel castors further indicates period construction.

A Georgian wine cooler functions as an occasional side table, plant stand, or statement container in modern living rooms and dining areas. Placing the piece in an alcove or corner adds architectural structure while providing internal storage for household items.

Maintain mahogany timber by applying beeswax polish along the grain annually, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage. Brass components should be dusted with a soft microfibre cloth without harsh chemical abrasives to preserve the natural patination.
