Folk Art Tea Caddy c.1800 Ref:folktc Truly unique Folk Art Tea Cady which has been painted in a very similar style as the inlaid Tunbridge Ware.

It appears to be made of solid sycamore which has been given a coat of gesso before painting with diamonds, triangles & squares painted to give it a three dimensional look, the untouched patination is wonderful. The interior has two painted lids with bone handles with the lid of the caddy lined in a plum leather type paper. the caddy retains most of its original lead lining and comes with a fully working lock & replacement key. Dimensions: L 8" X W 5" X H 5"
