The octagonal 'wine-celleret ' (sic) and dining-room furniture inlaid with segmented-medallions and ribbon-tied drapery with husk-festoons are illustrated in A. Hepplewhite & Co., The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Guide, 1788.

Mrs. Blackie, the widow of the eminent philosopher and Professor of Greek at Edinburgh University John Stuart Blackie (1809-95) gave this cellaret to her cousin in 1897. It was intended for the Drawing Room at Kellie, which had been restored by James Lorimer in 1876
