Rolls-Royce and supreme luxury are synonymous, so when this top-tier brand introduces a new accessory bearing its name, expectations naturally follow suit. The term “Cellarette,” as per the Encyclopaedia Britannica, denotes a portable cabinet for wine or spirits, prevalent in the 18th to 20th centuries. Rolls-Royce’s Chief Designer of Accessories, Nick Apprams, faithfully embodies this definition but on a scale befitting the luxury brand.
Rolls-Royce’s Cellarette is a sophisticated and versatile product. It’s a meticulously crafted box, equipped with active mechanical mechanisms, sophisticated lighting, and materials of the highest caliber. This product epitomizes three guiding principles of Rolls-Royce: engineering precision, meticulous craftsmanship, and superb presentation.
Opening the box is nothing short of theatrical: the outer body (with black anodized aluminum finish and leather) opens with the top tray rising upwards, revealing soft ambient lighting against Armagnac-toned leather panels. It also unveils a collection of specially engraved S.T.Dupont cigar accessories featuring the Spirit of Ecstasy, Rolls-Royce’s iconic mascot. Hand-blown Low-Ball glasses, adorned with the Rolls-Royce logo, rotate outward. Alongside them, a mechanism mimicking Rolls-Royce car passenger doors opens a custom-sized leather-lined side compartment with a magnetic holder for beverage bottles, while the opposite side houses a cedar-lined compartment for cigars. The luxurious makeup kit opens separately, ensuring complete versatility.
Bottom line: Rolls-Royce’s tribute priced as a car that isn’t a Rolls-Royce.
Price: $40,570 USD before taxes.
