19th century

Sold by Carse Antiques

Description

FINE late 18th century George III mahogany and boxwood line inlaid wine cooler or cellerette, very much in the style of THOMAS HOPE. This very unusual shape wine cellerette was obviously made by a very good cabinet maker as the quality of the workmanship is first class.

It retains all its original brass work, hinges, lock, castors and lion mask side handles. It also very unusually has a drawer in the base which is mahogany lined.

Apart from some hairline cracking to the sides this piece is in very good un-touched condition.

I would suspect originally the box had a lift out liner. There is plenty of height inside for all modern wine bottles to stand up comfortably.

SIZE; 24" wide by 17" from front to back by 24" high max.

Declaration
