Really nice and unusual 19th Century Anglo-Indian Spice or Tea Caddy, circa 1890.
Made of solid exotic hardwood with solid silver mounts on base and lid. The lid has 3 silver studs and a central silver large clasp which connect to a wooden finial underneath.The lid is the banded with silver repousse work.
The lid fits snuggly into the base to make it air-tight, to keep the contents fresh. The base is solid turned rosewood with silver repousse banding. The chain in silver but later, but would be identical to the original.
