Item Description
A fine Georgian Walnut Brass-Bound Oval Wine Cooler or Jardinière
A fine Georgian oval wine cooler or jardinière in richly figured walnut, coopered and bound with deep brass bands. Resting on well-proportioned sabre legs, this example reflects the quiet refinement of late 18th to early 19th-century English design. Retaining its original shortened lead liner, the piece remains in untouched, all-original condition - the surface beautifully mellowed with time to a warm, mellow patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. This cooler, with its honest craftsmanship and understated design, likely originated from a country or Estate cabinetmaker, serving a grand rural household. Unlike the opulent mahogany examples produced by London workshops for the city’s elite, this piece captures the charm of regional craftsmanship - simpler in ornament, but no less accomplished in proportion and presence. Its clean lines and restrained detailing are typical of the late Georgian, early Regency period, a time when elegance was expressed through balance and form rather than flamboyance. The result is a piece that speaks softly of gentility and good taste - a functional object elevated by grace and proportion.
