A most attractive and well-preserved George II walnut tea caddy of characteristic mid-18th century form, the domed lid enclosing two original lidded compartments, each with a turned wooden knob handle.

The front is fitted with an original cast Rococo escutcheon in silver-plated brass of foliate design, retaining good detail and patina. The reverse retains its original brass hinges. The interior compartments, formerly lined in lead or foil as was customary, are now unlined, the pine secondary wood showing honest age-related wear commensurate with circa 300 years of use. The lid interior retains its original walnut panel.
