About the Item
An exceptional example of early Georgian craftsmanship, this George II mahogany chest of drawers dates to circa 1730 and showcases the elegance and restraint of 18th-century English design. Crafted from solid mahogany with a lustrous, time-earned patina, the chest features four finely graduated drawers, each oak-lined and retaining its original English cock beading—hallmarks of superior period construction.
A rare and highly desirable feature is the integrated brushing slide, set just above the drawers. Originally intended for garment preparation or writing, it remains both functional and evocative of the chest’s aristocratic provenance. The chest stands confidently on its original ogee bracket feet and retains its original brass handles and escutcheons, naturally oxidised to a soft verdigris that enhances its authenticity.
Minor professional restorations have sensitively preserved the chest’s structural integrity, while the surface bears only gentle signs of age consistent with nearly three centuries of careful use. A collector’s piece and a true investment in period English furniture, this George II chest blends timeless style with practical elegance, perfect for refined interiors or heritage collections.

Large George III Mahogany Cellarette / Wine Cooler – 18th Century Antique from Sussex
📜 Provenance – George III Mahogany Sarcophagus Cellarette, England, circa 1800
Sourced from a distinguished Sussex estate with longstanding ties to the Georgian period, this exceptional late 18th-century cellarette embodies the refined tastes of Regency-era English domestic design. Crafted circa 1800, the piece showcases rich, figured mahogany with a deep, lustrous patina developed over two centuries of continuous care and ceremonial use.
This cellarette was likely commissioned as part of a broader dining suite, intended to hold wines or spirits with both grandeur and discretion. Its form — inspired by Roman sarcophagi — reflects the classical influences prevalent in George III design. The original interior tin lining remains intact, a rare feature that underscores its authenticity and historical integrity.
Elevated on its original tapered legs and mounted with brass casters, the piece retains its original lion mask side handles, further articulating its status as a formal and functional object of significance. The substantial scale and sculptural quality allow it to serve equally as an antique wine cooler or statement console.
Evidence of a professional period repair to the top is visible and has been conserved to museum standards without compromising structure or surface character. The patina and minor wear are consistent with age and commensurate with a legacy object of this period.
This cellarette is not only an elegant storage solution but a collector's item of enduring design merit — ideal for connoisseurs of English Georgian furniture, fine wine enthusiasts, or interior designers seeking a historically anchored, investment-grade focal piece.
