19th Century, English Mahogany & Brass Footed Divided Tea Caddy

About the Item

This elegant English tea caddy is crafted from rich mahogany, showcasing the warm tones and fine grain of the wood, complemented by its brass-mounted footed details. Designed with functionality and sophistication in mind, the caddy features a divided interior, originally intended to store different varieties of loose-leaf tea—a luxury item during the 19th century. The caddy rests on ornate brass feet, which elevate it both literally and stylistically, adding a touch of refinement. The hinged lid opens to reveal a carefully constructed interior, often lined with foil or tin to help preserve the freshness of the tea. The exterior is enhanced by simple yet elegant escutcheon detail, indicative of the Georgian or Regency influence in its design. Tea caddies such as this were not merely utilitarian but also served as decorative pieces, reflecting the wealth and taste of their owners. Measures: 8.25" w x 5" d x 6.125" h.
