Magnificent 18th Century Tea Caddy - Burr Elm & Mahogany - Exquisite Inlay C.1765

18th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A really magnificent and highly decorative example of a George III triple compartment tea caddy with the addition of a teaspoon compartment. I have included the later (Victorian) Sterling Silver teaspoon with the box, hallmarked for London 1897.

This exquisite box, rarely seen is made from Mahogany with large panels of Burr Elm with marquetry inlay created from boxwood and ebony.

The top has a large brass carrying handle, complimenting the typically Georgian grand polished brass escutcheon which houses the working tasselled key.

Once opened, the interior reveals the three compartments again made from Mahogany and Burr Elm and trimmed in Boxwood. Each tray is topped with a turned Ivory knob. Behind these compartments is a teaspoon tray, always lovely to see.

Excellent condition measuring 9 3/4" x 5 1/2" x 5 3/4" tall.
