Description

A sensational caddy by top-notch maker, Parkins & Gotto, a signature can be found on the hinge with the address 24 & 25 Oxford St.

This eight sided box with it's elegant domed lid, is made from Burl Walnut, really my very favourite timber, with it's glorious grain and rich cognac colouring.

The box has the most exquisite top-notch cast brass fittings intricately engraved and hinged handles to each side. The top mount is finished with a large Wedgwood Jasperware plaque with a classical scene of a Lady and Gentleman.

The lid lifts to reveal a two compartment interior, each with a lid again with magnificent brass mounts one engraved "Black" tea and one "Green" tea. The two teas would be blended to taste before being added to a pot and the custom tea made.

A real gem, in excellent condition, the footprint measures 10 1/4" x 6 3/4" and stands 6 1/4" tall.
