The shaped and scalloped upper box opens via a hinged lid to reveal its original function — a tea caddy, used to store and serve fine loose-leaf teas during the Victorian era.

Elegant beading detail surrounds the apron, while the softly contoured gallery edge adds visual interest from every angle. The warm patina of the rosewood is complemented by the rich carving on the base and feet, making this a standout accent piece for both traditional and eclectic interiors.

Originally a symbol of hospitality and refined taste, this teapoy now serves beautifully as a side table or decorative focal point in a modern home.
