Georgian Burr Yew Tea Caddy

About the Item

Burr Yew Inlaid Tea Caddy Circa 1780 From our Tea Caddies collection, we are thrilled to offer this square Georgian Burr Yew wood inlaid Tea Caddy. The Caddy of square form with canted corners having inlaid boxwood flutes. The front and lid feature oval cartouches with fan inlays, the lid surmounted with a brass handle. The interior features a floating lid with a further brass handle and lining. The Tea Caddy comes with a fully working lock and key. Yew wood originates from Asia, Europe and North Africa. It is yellow-brown to orange-brown and usually conforms to a fine uniform pattern. Yew wood usually has black pips scattered throughout so clean veneers fetch a high price and are reserved for finer items. A few trees will produce a burr which offers a distinct decorative finish. Measurements (centimetres) 11.5 High x 13 Wide x 10.5 Deep.
