TC566: Monumental three canister tea chest in figured rosewood on a mahogany carcass with mother of pearl inlay standing on turned rosewood feet having turned rosewood drop ring handles. 
The shape of this chest combines elements and influences characteristic of the  nineteenth century. It is structured in an   ancient Egyptian architectural form combining tapered  and pyramid lines which make this caddy a strong statement of the robust and elegant style of the Regency. The composition of the top is strong. The inlaid mother of pearl inlay  panels are set off by a further stringing of white-metal. (pewter).  circa 1830.
