A small, often decorative cabinet or container designed to hold wine bottles, liquor, or other items, usually placed in a home's dining or living area.
A variant spelling of cellaret, combining cellarer with the French diminutive suffix -ette (meaning small). This spelling became more common in American English during the 19th century.
The cellarette exploded in popularity during the Prohibition era (1920-1933) when having one was actually a covert signal—people used them to display legal liquors while quietly understanding what else might be stored inside.
