This lovely little Georgian  mahogany veneered tea caddy, only measures 13.5cm w x 8cm d x 9cm h.  It has  hollywood stringing  to the edges, and a working key. Inside there are the two original lidded interior compartments with remnants of the lining, ( both lids have some restoration).These small tea caddies are quite rare, they may have been made fo taking the precious tea on ones travels.
