Wine Bottle Cooler Stand 1845 - 1846

This silver "Wine Bottle Cooler Stand" was created by Robert Garrard II, an English silversmith, between 1845 and 1846. The stand is ornately decorated with Rococo Revival motifs, featuring a central embossed floral design surrounded by intricate scrolling details and cherubic figures. Its delicate design, crafted for a functional purpose, showcases Garrard's mastery of craftsmanship and highlights the popularity of the Rococo Revival style in 19th-century England. Today, the stand is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago.
