About the Item
A very fine and visually striking Biedermeier Period tea caddy of exceptional quality, demonstrating a highly elevated form and a most complex application of exotic woods.

The fabulous bombe-shaped base veneered in richly figured amboyna and sided by ring pulls with embossed circular back-plates, the interior housing a striking amboyna & zebrawood panel showing twin oval recesses fitted with conforming lids of burr yew, over a compartment retaining remnants of lead paper lining.
