About the Item

An Exquisite 19th Century Victorian Decorative Brass Bound Burr Walnut Domed Tea Caddy Chest Features Two Caddy Compartments Which Feature Domed Wooden Lids & Each Has A Circular Brass Button Handle The Inside Of The Domed Lid Is Lined With A Royal Blue Silk, & Also Has An Original Working Key With A Gold Swing Tag Base Interior Dimensions: Height: 8.3cm Width: 7.2cm Depth: 8.6cm A tea caddy is a box, jar, canister, or other receptacle used to store tea. When first introduced to Europe from Asia, tea was extremely expensive, and kept under lock and key. The containers used were often expensive and decorative, to fit in with the rest of a drawing-room or other reception room. Hot water was carried up from the kitchen, and the tea made by the mistress of the house, or under her supervision. As the use of the jar waned and the box became more popular, the provision of different receptacles for green and black tea was abandoned, and the wooden tea chest or caddy, with a lid and a lock, was made with two and often three divisions for the actual caddies, the center portion being reserved for sugar. In the late 18th and early 19th century, caddies made from mahogany and rosewood were popular.
