19th Century Anglo-Indian Spice or Tea Caddy with Silver Mounts

Offered by: Rockwell Antiques Dallas

Description
PRESENTING A GORGEOUS 19C Anglo Indian Rosewood Caddy with Silver Mounts.

Really nice and unusual, 19th Century Anglo-Indian Spice or Tea Caddy, from circa 1890.

Made of solid rosewood with solid/sterling silver mounts and bands on base and lid.

The lid has 3 silver studs and a central silver large clasp which connect to a wooden finial underneath.

The lid is the banded with silver repousse work.

The lid fits snuggly into the base, to make it air-tight, to keep the contents fresh.

The base is solid turned rosewood with silver repousse banding.

The chain is silver but a later replacement, but would be similar to the original.

We have never seen another Caddy like this!
It could have held spices, tea or tobacco.
