French 19th Century Mahogany Rafraichissoir

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
A French, Louis XV-style mahogany rafraîchissoir table from circa 1870. Functioning like a dry bar, this side table is adapted to keeping beverages cold–and you refreshed–by placing them in removable ice buckets set flush within the cabinetry. Our example has two metal cellarette buckets to the back, and a white marble surface to prepare one’s drink. A small drawer in the apron is perfect for storing bar tools and cocktail napkins. Gorgeous cabriole legs elegantly bow out from the table top and curve back inward to support a lower shelf. The buckets could also be used for small houseplants in between parties. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, this table is ready for your next event. Please view the detailed images.
