About Bring an exquisite touch of English heritage into your home with this exceptional Antique Victorian twin-compartment tea caddy. Hand-selected and sourced directly from an antique shop in England. The rectangular form features softly rounded corners and is completely wrapped in a deeply figured, premium burr walnut veneer. Known for its wild, smoky growth rings and rich amber-caramel tones, the wood itself serves as the primary art form. Opening the brass-hinged top reveals a meticulously preserved interior complete with its rare, original matching wooden compartment lids and small turned wooden knobs. A gorgeous, sculptural accent piece suited for a styled mantle, entry table, or workspace.
Dimensions 8”L x 5”W x 5.5”H
Condition This piece is in exceptional antique condition, showing a beautiful grain and an age-authentic patina throughout the burr veneer. To ensure complete longevity, the original brass hinges have been historically stabilized and tightened. The central brass lock escutcheon is present, though the original key is absent.
