An elegant early 19th-century Regency mahogany sarcophagus-form wine cellarette, offered by Hutton-Clarke Antiques. Of bold architectural design, the hinged lid is raised with a stepped and panelled top, opening to reveal a clean renovated interior for bottles. The tapering sides are framed with fine turned mouldings, resting on well-carved gadrooned bun feet. The rich, well-figured mahogany displays a fine patina, enhanced by the crisp detailing and strong proportions. A striking piece of Regency furniture that combines both style and practicality. Possibly by Gillows of Lancaster. Lee lock with period loop key.
