This nineteenth-century wine cooler, or monteith, adopts a Georgian and Victorian gentleman's library style. Constructed from coopered oak with a deep brown finish, the oval vessel features three horizontal brass bands secured by tacks, a scalloped rim, and integrated heart-shaped side handles at either end. Visible details include the natural wood grain running vertically along the body and the contrast between the dark timber and the polished metal bands encircling the exterior. Measuring 25 cm high by 61 cm wide and 40 cm deep, the piece provides a practical container for display or storage. In a modern interior, this oak and brass accessory suits placement on a dining room sideboard top or a living room console table. The open interior and sturdy construction allow for use as a decorative bowl for holding household items, floral arrangements, or wine bottles during gatherings. The combination of timber and metal hardware integrates with traditional and transitional spaces, bringing functional period character to everyday surfaces.

FAQs

A monteith is a type of vessel originating in the late 17th century, traditionally featuring a scalloped or notched rim. It was originally used to cool wine glasses by hanging them upside down in ice water by their bases.

Monteiths were traditionally crafted using fine hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, or silver. Wooden examples typically utilised traditional coopering techniques, reinforced with metal bands like brass or copper.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails or authentic coopering marks, natural patina on the metal bands, and signs of age-related wear to the timber.

An antique monteith can be used as a striking centrepiece on a dining table, filled with seasonal foliage, or displayed on a sideboard as a decorative cachepot to introduce historical texture.

To preserve antique wood and metal, keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Periodically apply a microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber and gently dust the metal components without using abrasive cleaners.
