cellarette
A cellarette or cellaret is a small furniture cabinet, available in various sizes and shapes, which is used to store bottles of alcoholic beverages (''e.g.'', wine, whiskey). They are found in many different designs.
== History ==
Wood box containers as freestanding alcoholic beverage cabinets first appeared in Europe in the fifteenth century to hold and secure alcoholic beverages in public houses. "Cellarettes" first appeared in colonial America in the eighteenth century as a form of the European liquor cabinet. The main purpose of a liquor cabinet or cellarette was to secure wine and whiskey from theft.
During the American Revolutionary War and Civil War cellarettes for army officers often came with crystal decanters, shot glasses, pitchers, funnels, and drinking goblets. Cellarette designs of the eighteenth century were used into the twentieth century. Cellarettes of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries were found in taverns and pubs, and in some cases, in private homes of the elite.
Prohibition in the United States brought about variations of trompe l'oeil cellarettes designed to conceal illegal alcoholic beverages. For a casual observer, the three dimensional trompe l'oeil artwork on these cellarettes made them appear to be an ordinary table, bookcase, or other piece of furniture.
