Description: A nice brass tea caddy from the Imperial Romanov era. The rectangular box has canted corners, a feature less common than the typical rectangular shape. The hinged lid is decorated with an ornately detailed appliqué of the imperial Romanov double-headed eagle. The interior is tin-lined in the traditional Russian style. The lid can be locked with a small padlock—a reminder that tea was once an expensive, luxurious commodity that had to be protected from household thieves. Origin: Russia, ca. 1890. Condition: excellent, no dings, all original. Size: 4” x 2-7/8” x 2-1/2”.
