Regency Oak Sarcophagus Wine Cooler

A handsome Regency period oak wine cooler in the classical sarcophagus form, inspired by ancient Egyptian tomb designs popular in the early 19th century. Constructed in solid oak with well-defined panelled sides and moulded edges, it retains its original heavy lead lining, complete witha drain plug. Originally made for cooling wine bottles, this versatile piece also makes an impressive log bin or planter. Beautifully patinated with rich colour and grain, displaying the refined yet robust craftsmanship typical of the Regency period.
