Inlaid Rosewood Twin Section Tea Caddy

Very early inlaid rosewood twin section tea caddy in extremely good condition. Stands on the original turned wooden ‘bun’ feet. Double inlaid pewter strips to the lid and caddy front. Inlaid Mother of Pearl cartouche and escutcheon. Edge moulding to the top panel. All inlays, edging and veneer are original, complete and in excellent condition. Unspoilt patina. No unsightly light bleaching. Lid closes perfectly square. Original hinges and lock (key for decorative purposes only). Both storage sections have been neatly relined by a previous owner and are in spotless condition. Original lids with finely turned original wooden knobs. Original leather to the lid interior in superb condition. A particularly fine looking caddy of a ‘classic’ style that would sit well in any collection or display well as a standalone piece.
