We are pleased to offer a wonderful covered box or small tea caddy. It has the provision for a lock on the front, so it may have contained valuables.

The edges of the box are all covered in a black metal that on its outer edges is shown as goldish in colour to highlight the decorative aspects of this box. The shape reminds me of asarcophacus tea caddy.

We are unsure of the age, but would it probably dates to the mid 19th century. It could be much earlier or later. The condition is very good to excellent. I believe taht the hinges were probably replaced at some time.
