This tea caddy is in fair but presentable condition, showing honest age and use. The domed lid has a visible crack and is slightly top-heavy when open. The key is missing, and the two inner lids for the compartments are also lost. Veneer losses are present: at the bottom front edge and on one side panel. The interior paper lining, likely original or very early, shows wear, fading, and areas of loss but retains much of its charm. The brass side handles and turned bun feet are intact. Overall, while no longer pristine, the caddy retains a pleasing patina and remains an authentic example of an early 19th-century tea box.
