cellaret

The auction also includes English portrait miniatures, colorless glass, American paintings, a Regency cellarette, a George III dumbwaiter, a Warren Platner bronze lounge chair, curtain tie-backs, a goose-neck copper kettle.

They're being offered for sale by 20 expert dealers, including locally-based ones such as Graham Smith Antiques from Jesmond, Newcastle, which is bringing an 18th Century inlaid George lll satinwood card table and, to tempt wine lovers, an 1800 mahogany cellarette. Or how about a Blackamoor torchere wooden painted figure dating from 1950?

Other fine objects include a good quality long clock, a fine cellarette and an Edward Carter Preston watercolour.

A door from here leads to a cellarette with built-in shelving.

But apparently this isn't such a luxury as it sounds, because it has a linen drawer and china cupboards as well as the cellarette and glasses and all the cherry picks and things; and except for a table and an odd chair or two you don't need any other in your dining-room.
