Description: Beautiful 19th century antique tea caddy made of mahogany with three interior compartments. The two compartments with removable lids were used to hold both green and black tea. The center compartment was used either to mix the teas or for a sugar bowl. This caddy has not been refinished. The box is solid and will open and close smoothly, but has some wear from age. There are spots of damage to the veneer on the exterior, primarily at the edges and corners. The inside of the lid has the original orange paper and gold edging. The outside has a beautiful brass inlaid with tea leaves and seeds. Brass handles. Measures 11 inches long 5.5 inches wide 5.5 inches tall
