18th Century Inlaid Mahogany Tea Caddy

A mid 18th century mahogany tea caddy inlaid with chequered banding and decorated with subtle punch work pattern detail, with three metal canisters and a spoon rack internally. A fine quality tea caddy c1750 with vivid chequered inlay to the front and sides, and a punch work pattern to the top, the edge of the lid, and the base. Inside there are three rectangular metal canisters with round lids, and a slotted area behind these for storing teaspoons. The handle on the lid appears to be original. The lock and key are present, but the lock no longer holds the catch on the lid.
