English antique boxes, sewing boxes, work boxes, tea caddies from 18th and 19th centuries

BOXES: TEA, WORK , SEWING, JEWELRY, DOCUMENT, TUNBRIDGE
Our selection is wide, covering the late 18th century through the late 19th century. From fine George III inlaid neo classic tea caddies, to the exotic inlaid of Tunbridge ware boxes.
From the Egyptian influence of the Regency, to the rococo and neo-classic revivals later in the century; we love them all, knowing that they will find good homes, after their long voyage across the "pond."
