Antique George III 18th Century Mahogany Cellarette
Height: 18 inches Diameter: 13 1/2 inches
A cellarette, also known as a cellaret, is a type of antique furniture, specifically a small cabinet or container designed to store and chill bottles of wine or liquor. These were particularly popular in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, often placed under sideboards or side tables. They could be made from various decorative woods like mahogany and sometimes featured metal linings or ice compartments to keep drinks cool.
George III style dates to the reign of England’s King George III (1760-1820). The early part of the George III reign (c. 1760-1780) saw more ornate designs, influenced by the Chippendale style, while the later period (c. 1780-1820) favored simpler, more Neoclassical designs, influenced by styles like Hepplewhite and Sheraton.
