Gothic Revival Carved Wooden Wine Cooler, 1840s

Stunning very rare oversized gothic revival circa 1840 victorian wine cooler or planter a very nice decorative and well made piece, the lion hairy paw hark back to the early 17th century designs, the are superbly carved and look amazing from every angle. The timber is all original and has the correct patina for the age, its hand sawn and has the wonderful cut marks all-over. The paint finish is period ebonising and worn and aged as you would expect this piece has been designed as either a planter or wine cooler, I think most likely as a planter or for some kind of storage as it has the wooden base where as a cooler would be all metal we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, absolutely soaked it in three coats of cuprinol worm treatment, it is in ready to go condition throughout. Dimensions: height 67 cm width 120 cm depth 68 cm please note all measurements are taken at the widest point condition: please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
