FAQs

A cellarette is a wooden container or chest designed to store and cool wine bottles, popular in dining rooms during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The sarcophagus form features tapered sides and a stepped lid inspired by classical antiquity.

Georgian cellarettes were constructed from hardwoods such as figured walnut or mahogany, often featuring lead linings inside to hold ice and prevent moisture damage. Outer joinery included hand-cut dovetails, carved timber feet, and brass escutcheons.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate hand-cut dovetails, natural wear patterns, original lock mechanisms, and historic lead or zinc linings. Timber surfaces typically show authentic patination and veneer craftsmanship from the eighteenth or early nineteenth century.

A sarcophagus cellarette can be positioned beneath a sideboard, in a dining room alcove, or within a study. Its distinctive geometric profile and wood grain provide historical texture to both modern and traditional rooms.

Clean the timber using a soft dry cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically to maintain the surface finish. Keep the object away from heat sources and direct sunlight to avoid veneer cracking or colour fading.
