Description
A Handsome Victorian Walnut Veneer Twin Compartment Tea Caddy.
19th C.
A good quality antique veneered tea caddy with two compartments and from the 19th C.
This charming Victorian tea caddy has been veneered in well grained walnut. The caddy has a high domed lid and two wide bands of hardwood inlays. The front panel has a simple brass escutcheon. The caddy has been well waxed over the years and has developed a nice sheen that shows off the lovely grain well. There is no key with this caddy but the lock remains. The lid is firm on its original three barrel brass stop hinges. On opening the caddy the lids of the two compartments are exposed. Their covers are again veneered in walnut. The lids are finished with the original little compressed ebonised bun lifts. The interior surfaces still show remains of their original lead foil lining.
Dimensions: The caddy measures 18cm x 15cm x 11cm tall.
Weight: 666g's.
Condition: In good used antique condition. The exterior veneer has been well waxed over the years. There are minor surface marks, including scratches and chips from age and use. The brass work is clean and and the hinges function as intended. We encourage potential buyers to make use of the 24 images to satisfy themselves of condition and encourage any enquiries.
