rare william iv calamander tea caddy

Circa 1830, wonderful William IV calamander and mother of pearl inlaid tea caddy. This rare tea caddy has a wonderful sarcophagus shape and domed top, lifting handles, and a very stylish mother of pearl and brass inlaid escutcheon. Inside is a polished calamander interior with two removable tea canisters with dome tops and very unusual hinging mechanism, in wonderful condition. In the centre is a cut crystal mixing bowl which appears to be original and fits very snugly in the central aperture. The tea caddy has a small beaded frieze at the bottom and stands on 4 squat solid calamander feet. Wonderful example.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
