About the Item

Kingwood Inlay From our Tea Caddy collection, we are delighted to offer this Elongated Hexagonal Satinwood Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy of stretched hexagonal shape with six matching panels framed within boxwood stringing and kingwood borders with three kite shaped kingwood inlays to the front three panels. The exterior of the tea caddy is finished with an oval Sheffield plate handle on an oval mount. The interior of the tea caddy is fitted with two mahogany floating lids and a central partition for storing tea leaves. The Hexagonal Satinwood Tea Caddy has great colour and patination dates to the late 18th century Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1785. Literature Mark Goodger 25th Anniversary Catalogue page 10 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. Kingwood also known as Violetwood, is found in South America and is violet-brown in colour with a darker grain. It is a very dense and hard wood that is only available for smaller items due to the small tree that yields it. Mahogany is the name given to many types of tropical hardwood and can be found in Africa, India and South America, most of which are a red-brown colour with a fine, even grain. This makes it easily workable and gives it a durable finish which attributes to its popularity with many kinds of furniture. Georgian, a period in British history dating from 1714-1837, the Georgian era after the Hanoverian kings George I, George II, George III and George IV.
