A Victorian mahogany and brass bound tea caddy with a Welsh dragon carving on the top.
Possibly based on the vintage wooden brine barrels used on ships.
Beautiful patina to the wood, brass strips, ornate brass hinges and clasp.
We appreciated the work in this as it's not dissimilar to the making of an RN Rum barrel.
Measures 25cm x 18cm to the base and 16cm high.
Weighs just under a kilo
