The piece on the right in the present lot is a covered wine cooler made by the Rundell & Bridge firm in London in 1821-22 for Thomas Coutts and his wife Harriot Mellon, the future Duchess of St. Albans. Another set of four wine coolers similar to the one pictured were made for George IV in 1828-29.
