Description / Expertise
Antique Cooler Box in Faux Oak
Grained in faux oak on pine, this Army & Navy CSL Refrigerator Box is fitted with a white metal tank and an interior lid which is sealed with baize lining. The A&N CSL produced these fridges in seven sizes and this one is mid range. You also had the option of buying them with or without the tank. There is a plug to the bottom of the tank which releases any melted ice and an air vent to the front which can be closed. The tank has four trays which can be set at two different levels to give a range of heights. The removable legs unscrew and have castors. The sides have iron carrying handles and the top brass stays to hold it open. Although when first made this fridge would have been important for keeping food fresh, for modern use it would be great for keeping bottles cold. Circa 1900.
