A Rare Pair of Late 18th Century Inlaid Mahogany Cube Tea Caddies

18th century
Description

An interesting and quite rare PAIR of late 18th century TEA CADDIES. Veneered to the top, front and sides in figured mahogany and inlaid with a variety of designs, diamond shape to the fronts with batswing paterea at each quarter, Sunburst to the sides and a Rose pattern surrounding the handle on the tops. Both Caddies feature cast brass shaped 'ring' handles and retain the original lead lining - in excellent condition.

** Tea was imported mainly from two countries: "Black" Tea from India and Ceylon, and "Green" Tea from China. It was important to keep these two teas separate ~ often in separate compartments within a large caddy but rarely, as in this case, in a pair of separate caddies.

Dimensions: W: 4.5 inches H: 5.5 inches

c.1780-1800

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.
