Stunning Late 1800s Gothic Revival Walnut & Brass Tea Caddy Box W. Great Patina
About the Item
A very pleasing, late 19th century, double compartment tea caddy.
This marvellous and rare tea caddy is in very good condition and the burl walnut has a truly warm, deep and rich patina. The combination of the majestic shape, bronze Gothic design decorations and the stunning patina makes this little gem an absolute joy to look at. Both lids are still there too and for those who did not yet know, one compartment would be used for keeping green tea and the other would be used for keeping black tea. The owners could then mix the two so that their tea would be exactly right for their taste. The inner lining was mostly made of tin foil and that was there so that the natural tea flavour would not 'blend' with the organic wood of the box. What makes this tea caddy extra special are the many bronze Gothic symbols. The ones in the shape of a cross with the trefoil symbol (for the trinity) atop, to us, are the most striking. This fine antique comes with the original brass hinges and a lock with key (however the lock is not working anymore). Nowadays this fine box can be used for all kinds of purposes, but on display as the beautiful and hand-crafted Gothic antique that she is, she will never fail to impress either.

View AllStunning Handcrafted Late 1800s Gothic Casket with Peacock & Gargoyle Sculptures
Located in Lisse, NL
Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle.
If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive.
Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church.
Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
