late george iii mahogany brass inlaid tea caddy

Circa 1810, late George III mahogany sarcophagus shaped tea caddy with brass inlay. The triple stepped top forms out to a nice ogee moulding. Beneath this, is a ribbed section almost like quilling. The lid opens to reveal a felt lined interior, which probably had sections in it originally for tea. There are brass lion mask ring handles on either side. At the bottom is brass beading which continues on all sides, and the whole piece finishes on four elegant raised brass hairy paw feet. Original colour and patination, wonderful example of a caddy of the period.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
