Description

This exquisite tea caddy is beautifully crafted from rich rosewood, showcasing its superb grain and warm patina. In excellent antique condition, it comes complete with a working key and lock. Raised on bun feet, this caddy boasts a sarcophagus-shaped form, enhanced by brass lion ring handles for a regal touch. The inside is lined with deep blue crushed velvet, housing two tea canisters with lids to keep contents fresh. Unusually, this piece retains its original glass mixing bowl, adding to its authenticity and charm. While it bears the natural imperfections of age, its exceptional craftsmanship and striking grain make it a beautiful trinket box or a refined decorative piece. A true collector’s item, this tea caddy is both functional and visually stunning, embodying the elegance of a bygone era.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
