A remarkable late 18th century tea caddy crafted in richly figured mahogany and detailed with exquisite tulipwood banding. This English tea caddy, dating to circa 1790, is a striking example of late Neoclassical refinement, elegant in proportion and bold in detail.

Its elevated by finely cast gilt lion paw feet, adding a sense of regal weight and classical grandeur. The lid opens to reveal dual compartments used for storing fine teas of the period.

Tulipwood inlay lines the edges with subtle contrast, highlighting the caddy's expertly executed geometry and adding a decorative flourish prized by collectors. The warm, time softened patina enhances the overall sense of age, taste, and quality.

An outstanding piece for connoisseurs of Georgian decorative arts, or a luxurious accent to any finely appointed interior.
