Regency Rosewood Tea Caddy
A stunning example of a Regency, Rosewood Tea Caddy, complete with exquisite brass inlay.
When tea was first introduced to England in the 1700s, it was an expensive commodity. As a means of keeping the tea safe, people used to store it in a Tea Chest or Tea Box, which later became known as a Tea Caddy.
Tea caddies were generally kept in the drawing room due to the cost of the tea inside, which made leaving them in the presence of servants a risky proposition. As a result, the Tea Caddy became a fundamental and fashionable accessory for the home.
Period: Regency (historically and politically defined as 1811-1820, but culturally considered to be 1795-1837).
Measurements: W32cm x D16cm x H18cm
