An attractive George III period satinwood oval Tea Caddy, having ebonised strung decoration and hinged lid enclosing two divisions with fully working lock and key.

Tea of course was a precious commodity in the 18th century and tea caddies were used to both  preserve the tea leaves and also to lock it away, protecting it from wandering hands.

This is a lovely example, constructed from attractive satinwood with simple but elegant decoration.

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

Circa 1790.

Height - 5in.
Width - 7.5in.
Depth - 4.5in.
