About the Item
This is a finely crafted George III oval double-banded cellarette, dating from the late 18th century. Cellarettes were wooden chests designed to store and transport bottled alcoholic beverages, popular in many English homes of the period.
This piece is handcrafted from mahogany, featuring an oval shape set upon four tapered legs. The wood has been well-maintained, with a waxed surface that gives it a lovely shine. Brass lion pulls on each side add a touch of elegance and historical significance, as lions are symbols of bravery and royalty in English heraldry.
The cellarette is adorned with wide brass bands around the bottom, top, and lid, which blend seamlessly with the mahogany. The top band includes a subtle lock and key insert for secure storage. The lid features an oval satinwood inlay of a conch shell and leaf, a common motif in George III furniture, symbolizing luxury and rarity.
This cellarette is a rare find that can serve as an elegant storage chest, a stylish side table for a lamp, or even a unique nightstand. Its potential uses in modern decor are as varied as your creative vision allows.

Circa 1760 English George III Folding Handkerchief Tuckaway Corner Table
Located in Chicago, IL
This is an elegant hand-crafted mahogany George III multifunctionality corner table. During this time, corner tables became popular, due to their multi-functional and space-saving characteristics. They easily transform into a square multi-use: tea table, card table, reading table, tea table, etc. Completely utilitarian and space-optimizing, it could be placed in any room and provide many uses. It features an isosceles triangle top with a rear drop leaf. The drop leaf, supported by a gate leg, swings out to expand into a square surface. An oval-shaped brass escutcheon on the plain frieze hints at a compartment. Indeed, opening the lock allowed the top to lift and reveal storage space. It rests on four marlborough legs, another stylistic element of the era. One can use it in a living area and store board games in the storage compartment or use it as a desk or tea table and put it away in a corner when done. Regardless of how it is used or where it is located, it will be a timeless classic of Georgian history...

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...
