cellarettes
Cellarette or wine cooler. A wooden container, either square or round, frequently brass banded, lined with lead or block tin, in which bottles of wine were cooled on ice in the dining room, prior to consumption. The size and shape allowed it to be placed between the pedestals of a pedestal sideboard. Also called a sarcophagus, in reference to the shape of the top.
