Victorian Inlaid Walnut Tea Caddy - Original Lids c.1880

Victorian twin tea caddy in very good condition. Unspoilt mellow patina. Inlaid Tunbridge Ware style bands. No missing or replaced veneer or inlays. Lid closes perfectly square on the original brass ‘stop’ hinges. Original lock with a replacement ornate working key. Remains of the original foil lining to both storage sections in far better condition than the norm in particular to the undersides of both lids. Two of the corner supports to the right side lid have been replaced but that is a minor consideration given the very high degree of original features and the condition overall. Both lids are in excellent condition with the original turned wooden knobs. The lid veneer complements the original veneer lining to the lid interior. One very nice example of the style.
