Antique Papier Mache Tea Caddy - Fine Pretty Mother of Pearl Inlay

Sold by Puckerings
Description

So many papier mache tea caddies are inlaid with crude chunks of mother of pearl, more thought and refined decoration has been applied to this stunning example.

Beautiful gilded decoration stands out against the black lacquered finish of the papier mache and the refined floral sprays of iridescent mother of pearl reflect the light and radiate a rainbow of colour.

The interior reveals the original two lids with delightful pearl knobs. The top part of the lock is absent but doesn't affect the appearance in any way.

The caddy stands on it's original four bun feet and is a real stunner for your collection. Dating to around 1840, it remains in excellent condition with no loss of shell, minor wear commensurate with age. Measures 7" x 5" x 4 1/2" tall.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
