Antique George III Burr Elm Wine Cooler c.1800
A Georgian burr elm wine cooler of elongated octagonal form, the open well framed by a flat mitred rim above flared densely figured burr panels set over a stepped waist moulding and raised on square legs with vertical reeding.
Made for country-house entertaining to accommodate a loose drop-in liner, the deliberate selection of prized native burr elm distinguishes it immediately from common mahogany workshop production. The octagonal body is finished in the round allowing it to sit naturally beside the hearth holding fireside kindling or freestanding beneath a window with potted botanicals.
Very good antique condition, displaying rich patination alongside honest, moisture-oxidised wear to the now unlined interior consistent with genuine historic service. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place in the home.
English, circa 1800.
