Antique boulle tea caddy dating from the late 19th century and in excellent condition with no faults.
It''s 24cm wide and the top is covered in boulle inlay with a blank decorative cartouche in the centre.
The front has a swag of boulle around the keyhole.
The back and sides are ebony and inside there are two lids inlaid with brass stringing revealing the tea canisters with the original silver paper lining.
The inside of the lid and the underside of the two inner lids are rosewood.
Maybe a tea caddy isn;t the most useful think in the modern world, but maybe it could be used for storage on a desk, or dressing table. Or would look great on a hall table for keys!
