About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive, large antique Dutch silver tea caddy; an addition to our silver teaware collection. This exceptional and large Dutch silver tea caddy has a chamfered rectangular shaped form onto four cushion feet. The surface of this silver caddy is embellished with embossed and chased decoration depicting figures drinking, conversing and supporting each other in a tavern setting; this ornamentation was influenced by Flemish/Dutch genre artwork, such as pieces crafted in the late 17th century by David Teniers II. The swept upper portion of the caddy is embellished with floral sprays, accented with curvilinear fluted designs to each corner. The box is fitted with an elevated rectangular sleeve fitted with the original hallmarked push fit cover, accented with cast and applied illustrations depicting gentleman in armour and a portrait of a dignitary. The upper plateau of the cover is surmounted with a cast knopped finial.
