Wine Bottle Cooler Stand 1845 - 1846

Robert Garrard II's "Wine Bottle Cooler Stand" (1845-1846) is a beautiful example of Rococo Revival silverwork. The stand, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, features a central coat of arms surrounded by ornate scrolls and cherubs. The piece is intricately embossed and displays a high level of craftsmanship, typical of Garrard's work. This stand reflects the popularity of Rococo Revival styles in the mid-19th century, showcasing the appreciation for elaborate, decorative details.
