This Kentucky cherry Hepplewhite celleretta, dating to circa 1795, is a distinguished piece of American furniture. Measuring 28.25 inches by 36 inches by 16.5 inches, it features classic Hepplewhite design elements, including tapered legs, dovetailed sides, a scalloped skirt, and an ivory escutcheon. The interior is divided, typical of a celleretta rather than a sugar chest. While the brasses are old, they are not original to the piece. Appraised between $3,000 and $15,000, this celleretta represents a significant example of late 18th-century craftsmanship and design.
