{"product_id":"antique-asian-lacquered-wood-double-tea-caddy","title":"Antique Asian Lacquered Wood Double Tea Caddy","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking example of 19th-century Oriental lacquerware, this antique tea caddy showcases the hallmarks of fine Japanese craftsmanship. The dark lacquered base is enriched with hand-painted gold detailing and delicate floral medallions, while its low rectangular form and metal escutcheon reflect traditional design principles. The caddy features twin compartments with fitted lids, originally lined to preserve loose-leaf tea. The decorative lid painting, though softened by time, retains considerable charm. Honest patina—including a lot of lacquer loss, surface dings, and wear to the front lock mechanism remains in place, though no longer functional. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Timeless Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54606923727189,"sku":"1493","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/7560\/0725\/files\/newINVENTORYaddedeveryweek-2026-08-11T225605.552.png?v=1786486476","url":"https:\/\/timelesscollectables.co.uk\/products\/antique-asian-lacquered-wood-double-tea-caddy","provider":"TIMELESS COLLECTABLES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
