Outstanding Urn Tea Caddy made of Cuban Mahogany, with polychrome decoration, including a trailing spray of delicate white & green foliage around the lid's edge and top edge of the caddy itself.

A superp, unique piece representing a classical and elegant period of craftsmanship. The caddy was last exhibited at the BADA and Christies Art Treasures Exhibition between October 12 and November 5, 1932, which is shown on a circular label contained in the bottom of the caddy and reads as follows: BRITISH ANTIQUE DEALERS' ASSOCIATION, ART TREASURES EXHIBITION, CHRISTIES 1932, No.239.
