Early 20th-Century Anglo-Indian Iron Ice Chest

Offered by: Mikel Welch

Description
This early 20th-century Indian refrigerator is a striking example of functional craftsmanship turned art. Once used to store ice and perishables before the age of electric cooling, its solid metal exterior and paneled double doors were built for both endurance and elegance. The hand-forged latch and original hardware remain beautifully intact, revealing the ingenuity of its makers.

With its deep patina, sculptural form, and commanding presence, this piece blurs the line between utility and art object. Perfect as a statement cabinet, bar, or sculptural focal point, it brings a sense of history, texture, and global character to any interior.
