Object Description
A Very Fine Quality Regency Period, Georgian, Mahogany Box Cellarette, The Well Figured Lift Up Lid Enclosing Recently Fabric Lined Interior Storage Cavity, Having Moulded Panel Front And Sides Retaining Original Brass Handles, Raised On Extremely Elegant Tall, Turned, Tapering Legs.
This fabulous quality little Regency piece of furniture would have started its life as a box cellarette for the storage of wine. Based on the design, quality and timber used it is almost certainly from the workshops of Gillows and is really quite a lovely piece of furniture.
It could now of course serve great purpose as a little occasional lamp table, coffee table, or even a little bedside table. There is also of course the added bonus of being able to utilise the interior storage space which has been recently relined and therefore could accomodate anything one wishes.
Overall the condition is excellent with very little historical damage of any kid and just a few old scuffs and scrapes which have now blended in with the surface and patina. It retains its original brass handles to the side and a working lock and key. The legs are incrediblty elegant and really give the item class and sophistication.
As with all items which we offer for sale it has been inspected in our workshops and attended to by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers, receiving a natural wax polish before being placed on sale to ensure it is in its best possible condition and ready for immediate placement following purchase.
