Description
DESCRIPTION: An antique Chinese export Tea Caddy/box. This tea casket demonstrates the collaborative nature of the ‘China Trade’ items made for export – with the fretted and carved mother of pearl casket having been made in China and then sent to England where a London silversmith made the silver fittings. The carvings depict Chinese figures and scenes, further decorated with a series of floral vine and bird motifs, completed with silver dolphin handles. Finished with raised figural winged dog-or Hainu feet. Opens to reveal a red velvet interior. Similar boxes from the period were crafted by silversmith Samuel Herbert and Company. (Comes with original key)
