About the Item

With Conch Shell Inlay From our Tea Caddy Collection, we are pleased to offer this superb Georgian Satinwood Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy of rectangular shape with canted corners having inlaid boxwood flutes. The lid and front panel feature Tulipwood crossbanding with Boxwood stringing and two oval cartouches featuring inlaid conch shells with accented designs surrounded by further ropework stringing. To the front a diamond shape escutcheon is located to safely lock the Tea Caddy from prying hands. When opened the Tea Caddy reveals twin lidded Tea Caddy compartments with matching turned bone handles. The Tea Caddy is dated to the Georgian Period during the reign of George III circa 1790. The Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and key.  Satinwood is found in India and Sri Lanka. It has a rich golden colour and an almost reflective sheen. Satinwood is traditionally used for high quality furniture. Boxwood "Buxus sempervirens" 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 meaning it is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers. Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain.
