Summary

Description
English: European furniture in the Art Institute of Chicago - "Probably Mack, Williams and Gibton, Irish, 1811-1829, After a design attributed to Francis Johnston, Irish, 1760-1829. Cellarette. 1821/25. Dublin. Mahogany with metal liner. In the second half of the 18th century, open wine cisterns were replaced by covered wine coolers, or cellarettes, which were believed to keep wine cold for a longer period of time. This example is based on Roman sarcophagi and has been given expressive form by the Dublin architect Francis Johnston, inspired by a plate in Thomas Sheraton’s “Cabinet Dictionary” (1803). The cellarette has richly carved ornamentation – including a bunch of grapes and the heads of four lions, representing Bacchus. It most likely belonged to a member of the highly selective Order of Saint Patrick, founded in 1783 to keep titled Irish Protestants loyal to the king: that society’s emblem was a star-shaped badge of Saint Patrick flanking a crowned harp on its front, as seen here"
