Circa 1775 Elegant George III Period Mahogany Triple Tea Caddy with Three Interior Tin Caddies and Cast Brass Handle.

18th century
Description

Circa 1775 superb Georgian rectangular mahogany triple tea caddy box of typical Chippendale style form, outlined in ebony, with cavetto moulding to the top and having rococo cast brass shell decorated handle to centre of lid, brass edged escutcheon, and standing on shaped bracket feet.

The partitioned interior contains the three original tin caddies with lids (often missing), and a compartment for a caddy or tea spoon. It is lined with paper.

Tea caddy boxes were used to store and mix black and green tea. Tea was an expensive commodity during this period, and would need to have been kept in a locked box to keep it away from the house staff.

Size-9.5 inches long by 5.5 inches wide by 6.75 inches deep.

Weight for shipping-1.6 kilos.

With lovely and shiny patina and colour, this is a rare and unusual caddy box, and a must for the collector, as well as a very decorative antique piece.

In very good condition.

Many solid silver tea caddy spoons and teaspoons are available if desired. Please see listings or enquire.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.
