Description:
Ref: 742TC http://hygra.com/box/742TC 
Victorian Burr Walnut veneered two compartment Tea Caddy on a mahogany structure with engraved and pierced brass mounts and trick opening to the tea canisters. The burr walnut is exceptionally intricately figured. The straps of brass are pierced and finely chased  in the neo-gothic style. The return for inspiration to an earlier era, which was seen as more purely English, was a symptom of the renewed sense of patriotism, characteristic of the Victorian era.

Origin: UK;  Circa: 1880; Materials: Burr walnut and brass on pine structure.

Size: 22 cm wide, 19.8 cm deep,   16 cm high:   8.7 inches wide by  7.8  inches by  6.3  inches.

Condition: good overall Overall good with excellent patina. Signs on the top when very closely inspected that it may have had a handle which was subsequently removed and the hole repaired. On account of the nature of the wood, with its dots and swirls, the repair disappears in the pattern.; working lock and key; see images
