What is a cellarette? Cellarettes, … more Long before bar carts were the trend, cellarettes were the home entertainer’s must have furniture.
What is a cellarette? Cellarettes, sometimes referred to as cellarette cabinets, were first used in Europe in the 15th century as a place for pubs to store alcohol. The lid locked to prevent anyone from stealing the establishment’s libations.
The history of the European liquor cabinet, also known as the cellarette, began in the 15th century
Cellarettes became a common sight in the homes of the elite.
Cellarettes came in many different shapes and sizes. Most were made to be a permanent piece of furniture. Others were smaller and had handles to be easily portable from room to room like the bar cart. Some cellarettes also served as a basic refrigerator. Many were lined with metal so that food and drink would be kept cooler on ice for a longer period of time.
Cellarettes eventually became a status symbol for households with elevated entertaining skills. Today, their legacy continues with bar cabinets.
