A VERY FINE LATE 18th/EARLY 19th CENTURY “DOUBLE” TEA CADDY

A particularly fine quality late 18th/early 19th century TEA CADDY in excellent original condition. The decorative veneers used here are spectacular, with “chevron” and chequered edges throughout which border oval panels of beautiful book-matched yew-wood. These appear not only on the lid, front and the sides, but also on the back ~ as shown in one of the attached images.  The lid opens to reveal twin inner canisters, both with sliding lids which are similarly inlaid with matching oval panels within chequered string inlay. A lovely caddy! 7ins wide; 4.75ins deep; 4.75ins high (17.8 x 12 x 12cms). English circa 1785-1800.
