Victorian Burr Walnut veneered two compartment Tea Caddy on a
mahogany structure with engraved
and pierced brass mounts and trick opening to the tea canisters. The burr walnut is exceptionally intricately figured. The straps of brass are pierced and
finely chased in the neo-gothic style. The return for inspiration to an earlier era, which was seen as more purely English, was a symptom of the renewed sense of patriotism, characteristic of the Victorian era.
