    "description": "This large wine cooler stands on four sturdy claw feet, needed to support the weight of the alcohol and ice that it was made to hold. The shiny wood and classical proportions belie the fact that this was a highly functional object - it shows clear signs of having been used over time. The wood has split from top to bottom in places due to moisture from condensation and melting ice. The interior is lined with lead and subdivided to hold bottles upright. The feet, which are likely later additions, have casters under them to make the wine cooler easier to move when full of ice and bottles.",
