About the Item

A very fine quality and extremely rare matched pair of regency mahogany cellarettes, or wine coolers, of bold proportions and sarcophagus design, each With superbly carved knob to hinged lid, enclosing Lead lining to one and later paper lining to other Both with panelled front raised on original bracket feet with castors. Each bearing makers stamp of " T & G Seddon " (This incredible matched pair of cellarettes, or wine coolers really are quite something. They are of oversized form and quite  exceptional quality. Clearly produced in the same workshop. At  pretty much exactly the same time the differences between them  are negligible, with some examples being dimensional discrepancies between the panelling, a difference in the thickness and height of the knobs despite the design being identical and the the fact that one stands an inch or so taller & deeper than the other. Its also worth noting that one appears to retain it's original castors whilst the other has later replacement castors and also that at present one comes with working lock and key and the other doesn't. They are however incredibly rare, we have never owned one which combines this design with this size and therefore feel that  finding a pair is an incredibly rare feat indeed!) When Thomas & George Seddon took on the family firm in around they continued to operate from the existing London House premises until 1826 when they branched out into a West End Showroom at 16 Lower Grosvenor Street. Just a year later, in 1827 the firm entered into a high profile, temporary partnership with Nicholas Morel for the purpose of furnishing Windsor Castle. The arrangement last for four years and by the end of it had resulted in the firm of T & G Seddon being awarded a Royal Warrant in 1832, allowing them to add a crown to their name stamp from then onwards. Wine Coolers & Cellarettes are generally regarded as the same thing, made to serve  the same purpose, which is to house the wine in the dining room before and during  meal times once it has been brought up from the cellar. All of the grandest houses  would have had at least a couple of these and the grander they were, the bigger the status symbol when entertaining guests of course!) Circa 1835 Measures: Height - 26in/27.5in Width - 38.75in Depth - 22.5in/23/5in.   SHIPPING Please be aware, that I the seller of this item, am able to confirm that a restricted species, CITES, licence will not be required to ship this item cross border.
