Extraordinary antique early 19th century French triple tea caddies. Large rectangular formed wood box with Mahogany finish. Decorated with exquisite gilt bronze and brass stringing inlaid on the top with Mother of pearl and gilt bronze foliage.
 
The lid and front are also enhanced with gilt bronze trim leaf patterns with Mother of Pearl flower designs This beautiful casket opens to reveal a clean interior with brass hinges and lock fittings (there is no key with this box). The box houses three porcelaine de paris tea canisters. Decorated in the style of Chinese export porcelain, with rose medallion or famille rose influence. These porcelain canisters are hand painted with portraits of rose bouquets, in vibrant colours enhanced with gold gilt accents. Further decorated with raised embossed flower blossoms and leaves on Celadon green background ground. Certainly a museum quality piece.
 
Overall a beautiful old tea caddy box in wonderful antique condition ( tiny pieces of veneer is missing on the both sides of the box). None of the mouths, necks, stoppers of the canisters has any chips or cracks (see photos) All issues are age related. The canisters inside are in good condition
