The oval wine-cistern may on occasion have served as a jardiniere and is embellished in the Grecian or Pompeian manner with reeded columnettes; the model was frequently supplied without a hinged cover. Gillows' earliest sketch for an oval lead-lined cistern features in their 1787 Estimate Sketch Book (see: L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Royston, 1995, fig. 178).
A similar wine-cooler with a fluted cover, was formerly in the collection of the Earls of Stradbroke at Henham Hall, Suffolk, a house designed by James Wyatt in the 1790s. The Wyatt family were closely associated with the Gillows firm and James Wyatt supplied designs to the firm as early as 1774. A related example is illustrated in R. Edwards and P. Macquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1954, vol. I, p. 223, fig. 9; it was later sold from the Montague Meyer family collection at Christie's, London, 24 April 1980, lot 57. Another is illustrated in P. Macquoid, The Age of Satinwood, London, 1908, fig. 66
A wine-cooler of this model, again with a fluted cover, was sold anonymously Christie's, London, 27 November 2003, lot 141 (£11,352.50 including premium) and another sold, also Christie's, London, 14 November 2013, lot 53 (£13,750 including premium).
