A Pair of Antique Mahogany and Brass Bound Cellarette and Inlaid Storage Caddy - A collection of two distinct polished hardwood boxes. The first item is an octagonal cellarette or wine cooler constructed of dark mahogany hardwood, featuring extensive brass banding and hardware. The brass elements include two top lid straps/handles, a central rectangular plaque, and brass banding around the base and mid-section. The hinged lid opens to reveal a removable bright metal liner, likely aluminum, designed for insulation. The style is consistent with Regency or Campaign furniture. The second item is a tall, rectangular storage caddy or box, executed in a reddish-brown polished wood finish. The slanted lid is decorated with a central elliptical dark inlay surrounding a lighter wood geometric or starburst marquetry pattern. This caddy opens via black metal hinges visible on the back and is internally divided into two compartments. The grouping presents a traditional, campaign-style aesthetic.
