A beautiful and unique example of a Georgian tea caddy with unusual quarter veneered decoration to all four sides and the lid. The lid has a brass ring pull type handle. The lock and catch are present but there is no key. The brass escutcheon is a replacement. It would have had internal compartments but these are no longer there - you can see where a divider would have been - and there are some remnants of the original lining.
The condition overall is excellent. The veneer is all intact and the lid shuts nicely. The handle must have been a bit loose at some point as it has left a ring where it’s rubbed against the top - it does’t turn in a circle now.
The dimensions are:
Width - 19.5cm
Depth - 12.5cm
Height (not including the handle) - 11.3cm
