A fine mid 18th century Chippendale period brass bound mahogany oval wine cooler on stand, having a brass liner of later date within the coopered cellaret, with two wide brass bands and retaining the original two ornate lion mask lifting handles, on a cross veneered stand; on four cabriole legs terminating in pad feet with concealed brass castors.
Note: Handles of identical design were used by Thomas Chippendale on a well-documented wine cooler at Dumfries House, Scotland.
