18th Century George III Mahogany Wine Cooler or Cellarette

18th century
Description

A fine and well-figured George III mahogany hexagonal wine cooler or cellarette on the original stand, C. 1770 England. In the manner of Thomas Chippendale.

There is always something charming about this sort of cellarette and its hexagonal shape is incredibly versatile. It is a great piece for a drawing-room, dining room or hall, working well as a lamp table, wine table or on as a small pier table with a vase.

The original leather-bound casters raise the reeded mahogany legs, each with c-scroll ears joining the original moulded superstructure of the stand.

The cellarette itself is fitted with the original brass strapwork to the lower and upper of the figured mahogany body and retains the original axe head carrying handles to the sides.

The top is fitted with a well-chosen piece of mahogany, brass-bound and centred with the original axe head handle.

There is a wine cooler of similar form by Thomas Chippendale at Paxton House. Illustrated in Christopher Gilberts 'The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, page 79, plate:124.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A cellarette, or wine cooler, is a wooden storage chest designed during the 18th century to hold and chill wine bottles in dining rooms.

Georgian cellarettes were typically constructed from mahogany or satinwood, bound with brass hoops, and fitted internally with lead linings or dividers.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass side handles, period-correct lock mechanisms, and timber patination consistent with age.

A cellarette serves effectively as an occasional side table, a plant stand, or a decorative storage piece in living areas, dining rooms, and hallways.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish annually, keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
