About the Item

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.

George III Period Oval Mahogany Wine Cooler
Located in Lymington, GB
An oval mahogany wine cooler, George III period, circa 1790. With excellent, unrestored, deep, rich color and patination, and original solid-brass carrying handles to either side. This smart Georgian wine cooler (cellaret or cellarette) retains its original waxed surface and patina. It is brass-bound (of coopered construction) supported on its separate, original stand. Raised on square tapering legs terminating in its original brass cappings and castors. It can be also used as a small side table or lamp table. Comes with a bespoke, clear, safety glass cover. Nb. An antique oval wine cooler of this design is quite rare, and makes a very elegant addition to a dining room sideboard, or an occasional table in a drawing room. By removing the top, some examples of this form of wine cooler were often later converted to be used as jardinières. See Christies, 23rd May 2013, lot 23: a mahogany oval wine cooler sold @ £17,500. Literature: Ralph Edwards CBE FSA 'Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture', Hamlyn, London (Fourth Impression 1972) p. 640: “In late Georgian times the wine cooler was generally a plain mahogany tub hooped with brass and standing on four legs. Mary Kenyon in a letter to her mother (October 30th 1775) wrote that among the furniture in the parlour of her new house in Lincoln’s Inn Fields was a ''handsome cistern of mahogany with brass hoops etc. under the sideboard”. A typical example of a brass-bound wine cooler is shown in a picture by Zoffany, representing William Ferguson...
