Geo III Wedgwood and Steel Mounted Amboyna and Ebony Writing Box, c1800
Located in valatie, NY
The hinged rectangular top with three oval Signed Wedgwood plaques depicting putti at various pursuits within oval paterae mounted swagged and beaded borders, opening to a morocco leather lined hinged slope enclosing a well, the upper section fitted with candlesticks and compartmentalized for inkwells, above a hinged lid the front with a spring loaded secret drawer opening to a needle or pincushion and spools of thread. This unusual work box, mounted with blue and white jasperware signed Wedgwood plaques, is English in conception. The writing box was a popular form first used in the 18th c and well into the 19th c for traveling. This type of portable desk was described by the English poet William Cowper in 1785 as 'the most elegant, the compactest, the most commodious desk in the world.' Additionally, the jasperware plaques, came from Josiah Wedgwood's factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. Its proximity to the steel manufacturing city of Birmingham, the birthplace of Matthew Boulton, producer of decorative metalwork (including cut steel mounts) and described by his friend and fellow-industrialist, Josiah Wedgwood, as 'the first Manufacturer in England', certainly suggests an English origin and possibly his handwork. However, the polished steel mounts are also typical of furniture and objects made in Tula, Russia, where the Imperial Arms Factory was founded by Peter the Great in the early 18th c and which later became known for its decorative objects, including furniture and domestic pieces. Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, ordered the 'Frog Service...

Antique English Regency Tortoiseshell Tea Caddy with Silver Mounts
Located in Northampton, GB
FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING The Tortoiseshell Tea Caddy with Silver Mounts is an elegant early nineteenth century example dating to the reign of George III, circa 1810. Of oval form, the tea caddy is veneered in richly patterned tortoiseshell displaying warm amber and deep chestnut colouring throughout. The exterior is finished with finely worked rippled silver mounts framing the tortoiseshell. The simple shape and clean lines place the focus firmly on the natural pattern and colour of the tortoiseshell, which changes beautifully under light. Pieces combining tortoiseshell and silver were produced as luxury tea wares during the Georgian period, when tea remained an expensive household commodity stored securely within fitted caddies such as this example. The interior retains its original silver faced compartment with a pie crust border and floating tortoiseshell lid finished with a silver ball handle. The floating lid would originally have helped keep loose tea fresh while stored inside the caddy. Oval tortoiseshell tea caddies...
