About the Item

From our Tea Caddy collection, we are pleased to offer this Georgian octagonal Inlaid Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy of octagonal form veneered in Harewood with inlaid twin Tuscan Columns to the exterior surrounding a central oval cartouche with a blossoming bouquet of a Tea Plant. The lid of the Tea Caddy with a matching oval cartouch with further foliage and flowers from a blossoming Tea plant. The Tea Caddy is finished to the exterior with crossbanded Tulipwood and a Boxwood edging. The interior of the Tea Caddy features traces of the original silver foil lining and a floating lid with a brass handle. The Tea Caddy dates to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1790. The Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and tasselled key. Harewood is a type of sycamore maple which has been stained and treated to take the natural cream colour to a rich brown. Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is a warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain. Boxwood can be found in Europe, Northwest Africa and Southwest Asia. It is a light cream that turns darker to brown when exposed to light. The trees are very small, which is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers.
