This Georgian antique wine cooler stands from the Chippendale period around 1750, taking the form of an octagonal body crafted from warm brown mahogany. The timber displays visible grain alongside traditional brass binding straps, side carrying handles, a central keyhole on the lid, and castors on the feet. The hinged lid opens to the interior, while the exterior shows a fluted frieze and square tapered legs beneath the main vessel. It measures 72 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 42 cm deep. In a modern home, this piece suits placement in an empty corner of a dining room, living space, or hallway as a decorative storage container or display item.

FAQs

A cellarette is a wooden cabinet or chest designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hold ice and chill wine bottles within dining rooms.

Georgian wine coolers were constructed primarily from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, fitted with brass straps, brass side handles, and lined internally with lead or zinc to retain ice.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut joinery, period brass fittings showing oxidisation, natural patination on the wood, and original metal linings or drainage spouts beneath the body.

A cellarette functions well as an occasional side table, a plant stand, or a decorative focal piece within a dining room, hallway, or living space.

Dust regularly with a clean lint-free cloth, apply natural beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, and avoid placing water or damp objects directly inside without protective liners.
