With Tuscan Columns & Fan Inlay.


From our Tea Caddy collection, we are pleased to offer this Georgian Harewood Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy of octagonal shape with a Harewood veneer exterior and crossbanded Tulipwood with Boxwood edging. The front features a bone teardrop escutcheon with an oval cartouche having a central fan inlay matching the lid with a further fan inlay surmounted by a brass handle. To each side of the face, Tuscan columns stand on the canted corners. When opened the Tea Caddy reveals a floating lid with turned bone handle with a storage compartment for tea below. The Tea Caddy dates to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1780.


Harewood is a type of sycamore maple which has been stained and treated to take the natural cream colour to a rich brown.

Tulipwood is also known as Brazilian Tulipwood, Brazilian Pinkwood and Bahia Rosewood. It is found in South America, mainly Brazil. The colour is a warm yellow with streaks or brown-red grain.

Boxwood can be found in Europe, Northwest Africa and Southwest Asia. It is a light cream that turns darker to brown when exposed to light. The trees are very small, which is suited to smaller projects like edging or inlay instead of veneers.

The Georgian era was a period in British history dating from 1714-1837, the Georgian era after the Hanoverian kings George I, George II, George III and George IV.


The Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and key.
