ANTIQUE VICTORIAN WALNUT BRASS COPPER & OX BONE BOUND GOTHIC CASKET TEA CADDY
Description
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF A 19TH CENTURY WALNUT VENEERED CASKET TEA CADDY MEASURING 9.1 INCHES LONG, 5.1 INCHES WIDE AND STANDING 5.5 INCHES HIGH. THE DOMES LID IS DECORATED WITH ENGRAVED BRASS AND OX BONE PANELS HELD IN PLACE BY COPPER RIVETS AS SHOWN. THE SAME DESIGN IS USED AROUND THE ESCUTCHEON TO THE FRONT WHERE I THINK ONE COPPER RIVET IS MISSING AT THE TOP. THE VENEER IS IN LOVELY CONDITION AND IS VERY RICH IN COLOUR. THE INTERIOR HAS SOME TIN LINING FROM ITS ORIGINAL USE AS A TEA CADDY, BUT CAN JUST AS EASILY BE USED AS A DECORATIVE BOX. THE BASE IS COVERED WITH SOME OLD GREEN BAIZE. DATING FROM THE STYLE TO AROUND 1850 AND HAVING A GOTHIC STYLE TO IT WHICH WAS POPULAR AT THE TIME, IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION. ANY SIGNIFICANT OVERCHARGE ON POSTAGE WILL BE REFUNDED VIA PAYPAL ON DISPATCH.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK
