Large antique Georgian mahogany tea caddy, circa 1820 with a bone escutcheon and three divisions in the interior and ball feet. The patina is exceptional.

In England in the 18th and early 19th centuries tea was seen as an exotic commodity and was certainly expensive, it would have been kept in a locked caddy under the control of the lady of the house, protected from casual theft by the servants and dispensed sparingly and with great ritual, this caddy is an excellent example. As the caddy was a social status symbol under the close scrutiny of visitors to the house, caddies such as these were made to the very highest standards of the cabinet makers art. During the Victorian era new sources of tea became available from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and India and so the containers became larger as the product reduced in price.

Thank you for the review I am delighted to hear that you are happy with the Bible, such a rare item. John.

L'oggetto è molto interessante e ben conservato, peccato che a causa della Brexit abbia dovuto pagare 21,00 euro di spese di Dogana in aggiunta. Ma questo non è certo responsabilità del venditore.

What a thoughtful gift and so pleased to hear that you are happy, thank you for the feedback. John.

Estou muito satisfeito. O vendedor é fiável. A embalagem e o envio merecem boa referência. Recomendar ao vendedor que tome cautela com os endereços. O meu não vinha completo. Mas tudo correu bem.

Foi muito rápido, estou muito feliz que tudo correu bem e obrigado pelo feedback. John.

This seller is 100% awesome. He is honest and decent. The item was delayed due to customs and was eventually returned to the seller who then at his expense sent it to an alternative address in UK.
