19th C. English Banded Walnut Double Compartment Tea Caddy Box

Description: Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a lovely 19th Century English walnut tea caddy box, c. 1880. The walnut tea caddy box has beautiful graining with a dark stain with lighter contrasting wood banding on each edge of the top and on the corners of the bottom section. The lid is hinged with the hinges being tight and the box opening and closing correctly. The interior has two fitted tea compartments with lighter maple wood covers and small brass button handles. The key escutcheon has a diamond shape and is also made with the contrasting lighter wood. The locking mechanism is intact, however, we do not have the key.Measures 4 7/8" high, 7 1/4" long and 4 1/4" wide. Weighs 1.9 pounds. This nice box is in very good to excellent Estate condition commensurate with age and normal use. The only noted issues are a tight stress crack on the right (facing) side on edge of lid and a small strip of missing veneer on each side next to the hinges with another tight stress crack above the left (facing) hinge. There are also some small holes on the back near the separation of the top and base sections that are faint and don't harm the integrity of the function of the box. Overall, the box has a very good appearance with the flaws being very minor and non-distracting.
