Cellaret
c. 1942
Imagine a fancy wine cooler from the 1940s! Donald Harding sketched this precise design for a 'cellaret,' a specialized cabinet meant to hold wine bottles and decanters. The drawing showcases a clever wooden structure with a round top, a small cupboard swung open to reveal its depths, and a drawer underneath, all balancing on slender legs connected by a cool, starfish-shaped base. The inscription 'Del. 550' hints this was just one of many designs in a catalog, proving that even functional furniture can be a work of art.
