FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING The Tortoiseshell Tea Caddy with Silver Mounts is an elegant early nineteenth century example dating to the reign of George III, circa 1810. Of oval form, the tea caddy is veneered in richly patterned tortoiseshell displaying warm amber and deep chestnut colouring throughout. The exterior is finished with finely worked rippled silver mounts framing the tortoiseshell. The simple shape and clean lines place the focus firmly on the natural pattern and colour of the tortoiseshell, which changes beautifully under light. Pieces combining tortoiseshell and silver were produced as luxury tea wares during the Georgian period, when tea remained an expensive household commodity stored securely within fitted caddies such as this example. The interior retains its original silver faced compartment with a pie crust border and floating tortoiseshell lid finished with a silver ball handle. The floating lid would originally have helped keep loose tea fresh while stored inside the caddy. Oval tortoiseshell tea caddies...

The vanity box is of rectangular form extensively veneered in exotic coromandel and edged throughout with brass, incorporating double brass stringing to both the lid and front with a raised escutcheon to the centre. Opening the vanity box reveals a complete fitted interior comprising seventeen glass bottles topped with engraved sterling silver lids hallmarked for James Vickery, London, 1854. The quality of silver mounted fittings reflects the mid nineteenth century standard expected from a luxury retailer such as Mappin & Webb. The front panel folds down to reveal wing compartments which pivot outward through 180 degrees. Within sits a comprehensive mother of pearl handled tool pad incorporating a shoehorn, penknife, thread hook, multiple pairs of scissors, tweezers, file, needle and pricker.
