A lovely small octagonal tea caddy dating from the late 18th / early 19th Century. It is made from mahogany with cross banded borders and boxwood stringing. It has a white metal handle on the top and an inlaid diamond shaped escutcheon. Inside it comes with its original lid with a matching cross banded border and the top has been lined with marbled paper. Below the lid are two compartments.
It is in very good condition for its age. There are some signs of age and use, some minor marks and knocks and small losses but no major damages or anything detrimental. The inside is generally clean and tidy but it does not come with a key. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
