Object Description
A Very Attractive 18th Century Georgian Mahogany Oval Shaped Open Wine Cooler Retaining Good Colour And Patina, With Original Brass Bound Decoration And Original Brass Handles, Raised On Elegant Original Stand With Square Tapered Legs And Original Brass Castors.
It is most unusual for wine coolers of this period to retain their original stand, but that is very much the case with this particular example and the stand itself even retains it’s original brass castors at the end its elegant tapered legs.
The cooler itself is lacking its original lead liner with its replacement being a smaller, lower in height, removable zinc tray which allows it to still be used for storage of bottles or standing plant pots in.
We cannot guarantee that the zinc liner will remain 100% watertight with use, although our investigations have indicated that it appears to be at the moment.
Circa 1770.
