Rare Pink Design

From our Tea Caddy collection, we are delighted to offer this Georgian Pink Spa Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy made from Sycamore is decorated with a rare pink wash throughout the exterior bordered by painted scrolling motifs. The central band is decorated with two circular scenes featuring classical scenes with a circular cherub scene to the lid. This Tea Caddy is a rare example painted in pink and dates to the Georgian era during the reign of George III Circa 1770.

Spa was born from a coming together of nature in the Principality of Liege which is nestled on the edge of the Hautes Fagnes in the heart of the Ardennes forest. It contains a wealth of iron ore and water sources that date back pre Roman era. Over many years travellers would come from far and wide to visit the area for holidays, history and a host of tourist activities. Artisans started to produce works to sell to these travellers and Spa work was born, often incorporating scenes from the local area and useful components such as sewing kits.

Sycamore is a member of the Maple family, found in Europe. It is light yellow in colour and is often a very clean wood, with a straight, fine grain. The wood is often pippy. However, these pips are usually a very similar colour to the rest of the wood making them hardly visible.
