About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century Danish tea caddy, dating to circa 1860, showcases exceptional craftsmanship with its striking rosewood construction and elaborate bone inlay. The elegantly domed lid is adorned with finely shaped bone straps, secured with decorative studs, and features a central geometric inlaid medallion, adding to its refined aesthetic. The rich, warm tones of the rosewood contrast beautifully with the ivory-colored inlays, creating a visually captivating piece. Upon opening, the tea caddy reveals a finely finished interior with two lidded compartments, each fitted with delicate bone knobs, designed to store different varieties of tea. The compartments lift out to reveal an additional storage space below, a practical yet elegant feature. The caddy retains its original working lock and key, a rare and desirable detail that enhances its authenticity. With its exceptional detailing and superb condition, this tea caddy is a remarkable example of 19th-century Danish craftsmanship. A perfect addition to a fine collection of antique tea caddies or a sophisticated accent for any traditional or eclectic interior.
