Unusual Antique English Double Compartment Tea Caddy C.1860

19th century
Sold by Puckerings
Description

A wonderfully shaped Victorian English tea caddy standing on four brass ball feet. Dating to around 1860, the box is beautifully decorated with Burr Walnut panels framed with Boxwood and Ebony borders; the central panel of the cushion shaped lid is created from exotic Amboyna (the most expensive timber in the world).

The front has a heart shaped escutcheon, the key is not working and is for display only but looks terrific as a finishing touch.

Once opened, the interior reveals two lidded compartments, again with central Amboyna panels. The interior of the lid retains the original fabric lining finished with some gold paper embellishments.

There is a crystal mixing bowl in the center where the Green and Black teas would be blended to taste before placing in the tea pot.

A most unusual example in excellent condition, the lid measuring 12 1/2" wide x 7 3/4" & standing 6 3/4" tall.
