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...

Georgian Mahogany Wine Cooler / Cellarette
Located in Seaford, GB
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.
