An attractive George III period 18th century mahogany octagonal shaped Tea Caddy, having banded and strung decoration and lidded interior with two divisions with fully working lock and key.

Tea was of exceptional value in the 18th century and the type of tea you could afford, plus of course the vessels you chose to store it in were a great symbol of status.

Tea caddies were of course used to both preserve the tea leaves bit also to lock it away from the potentially wandering hands of any employees.

This is a good quality example of its type, constructed from well figured mahogany with elegant decoration.

The overall condition is good and it comes with a fully functioningllock and key.

Circa 1790.

Height - 5in.
Width - 7.5in.
