This Georgian antique cellarette takes the form of an octagonal wine cooler crafted from warm brown mahogany with an original colour and patina. Wide brass bands encircle the body, complemented by drop handles at the sides, a keyhole plate on the front, and an intact watertight lead lining inside. The upper section rests upon a stand with fluted square legs featuring carved brackets beneath the frieze. Measuring 71 cm high, 64 cm wide, and 48 cm deep, this piece provides functional storage for bottles. In a contemporary home, this item suits placement in a dining room, living room, or study as an accent piece or side table. It works well in an empty corner or beside seating, offering both historical character and practical utility for entertaining guests or holding everyday items.

FAQs

Wine coolers, often referred to as cellarettes, were designed in the eighteenth century to hold ice and keep bottled wine chilled during formal dining occasions. They typically featured lead or zinc linings and were crafted as decorative wooden furniture pieces to complement dining room suites.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from dense woods such as mahogany, frequently reinforced with decorative brass banding to support heavy ice loads and strengthen joints. The exteriors featured fluted or square legs, while brass drop handles enabled transport.

Authentic examples exhibit period joinery, such as hand-cut dovetails, original brass straps with natural oxidisation, and evidence of historical metal linings inside the wooden casing. Look for hand-carved reeded or fluted leg details and original brass hardware.

An octagonal cellarette functions effectively as an occasional side table, a dedicated bar cabinet for spirits, or an accent piece in a dining room or hallway. Its geometric octagonal form and warm mahogany tones provide structural interest alongside contemporary furnishings.

Dust the mahogany surface with a soft, dry cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to protect the finish. Avoid using harsh chemical metal polishes on the brass straps, as over-cleaning removes historical patination and can damage adjacent timber.
