The Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and tasselled key.
Treen (of a tree) is a generic name for smaller handmade household objects made specifically of wood. Treen is distinct from furniture including clocks and is specific to smaller items such as snuff boxes and smaller novelty pieces such as this Tea Caddy. Until the late 17th century the majority of household items such as boxes and tableware were carved from wood and it wasn't until the end of the Renaissance that silver, pewter, and ceramics objects started to become introduced into society. The longevity of wooden objects was extremely low compared to the newer materials that were introduced and therefore collectors find Treen objects highly desirable due to their rarity, clean examples such as this Tea Caddy are rare to find in good untouched condition from these earlier periods.
Georgian refers to 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.
