WINE-TABLE, a See also:late 18th-See also:century See also:device for facilitating after-See also:dinner drinking—the cabinetmakers called it a " See also:Gentle-See also:man's Social Table." It was always narrow and of semicircular or horseshoe See also:form, and the guests sat See also:round the See also:outer circumference . In the earlier and simpler shapes See also:metal See also:wells for bottles and See also:ice were sunk in the See also:surface of the table; they were fitted with See also:brass lids . In later and more elaborate examples the tables were fitted with a revolving wine-See also:carriage, See also:bottle-holder or See also:tray working upon a balanced See also:arm which enabled the bottles to be passed to any See also:guest without shaking . The See also:side opposite the guests was often fitted with a network bag . It has been conjectured that this bag was intended to hold biscuits, but it is much more likely that its See also:function was to prevent glasses and bottles which might be upset from falling to the See also:floor . That the wine-table might be See also:drawn up to the See also:fire in See also:cold See also:weather without inconvenience from the See also:heat it was fitted with curtains hung upon a brass See also:frame and See also:running upon rings . Sometimes the table was accompanied by a circular bottle-stand supported on a See also:tripod into which the bottles were deeply sunk to preserve them from the heat of the fire . Yet another form was circular with a socket in the centre for the bottle . Wine-tables followed the See also:fashion of other tables and were often irtlaid with See also:wood or brass . They are now exceedingly scarce .
