There is no lock and key. The stay chain, hinges, and handles are in good condition. The obsolete tin lining shows signs of age and use, including holes, wear, and patina. To use it as a wine cooler again, have a professional restorer make and install a new tin lining. This will preserve the cellarette’s historical value. Alternatively, it can function as a side table or a decorative storage unit. H=26 in. W=23 in. D=16 in. 35 lbs. less

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.
