An attractive and well figured late 18th century Square Rosewood Tea Caddy.
Having boxwood stringing and key escutcheon with original brass hinges to lid and working lock and key.
Tea was a precious commodity in the 18th century and tea caddies were used to both preserve the tea leaves, but also to lock it away and protect it from any wandering hands.
This rosewood example is good quality and unusual, being square shaped as opposed to oblong shaped.
It also retains its original brass hinges, plus working lock and key.
Circa 1790.
