This George II cellarette is an 18th-century piece formed from dark brown Cuban mahogany, brass, and zinc. The cylindrical body has horizontal brass bands at the top and bottom, along with brass drop handles attached to the sides and an interior zinc liner. The stand has cabriole legs terminating in hairy paw feet and a scalloped, shaped apron underneath. The wood exhibits a warm finish with natural grain variations and patination. Measuring 47 cm high, 34 cm wide, and 34 cm deep, this compact wine cooler sits comfortably in an empty corner of a dining room or living area. It functions well as a distinctive side table or display pedestal, bringing period character to traditional interiors.

FAQs

A cellarette is a specialised wooden container or small cabinet produced primarily in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to store and chill wine bottles. Positioned in dining rooms, they contained metal linings to hold ice and water, keeping spirits and wine cold during meals.

Georgian cellarettes were commonly crafted from dense hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut. They frequently feature zinc or lead metal liners to retain moisture and ice, along with brass bindings, bands, and carrying handles for structural support.

Authentic George II cellarettes typically exhibit hand-carved details, dark mahogany timber, and mid-eighteenth-century design features such as cabriole legs or pad feet. Original pieces often display hand-cast brass hardware, hand-joined construction, and natural wear or patination on the interior metal liner.

In modern interior schemes, a cellarette serves as an accent piece in a dining space, hallway, or living area. It can be displayed as a standalone decorative item or repurposed as a side table or planter.

Maintain the timber by applying high-quality beeswax along the grain and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Avoid using abrasive liquid polishers on brass fittings or interior metal linings to preserve the original patina.
