ANTIQUE #SA765317

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

£875    $1,072    €1,037
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.
