ANTIQUE #SA1162526

Unique Hand Painted Shell Tea Caddy

£420    $562    €481
A charming and unusual single tea caddy dating to around 1890, likely of European (French or German) origin. This delightful piece is decorated with a finely hand-painted shell to the lid, framed within an oval cartouche, giving it a distinctive and rare character.
 
The box is constructed in a warm-toned wood with fine detailing, including a small diamond-shaped key escutcheon to the front. The interior retains its original fitted lid, designed to keep the precious tea fresh.
 
This is not a standard example but a unique variation, making it an appealing addition for collectors of antique tea caddies.
