An important George III mahogany, tulipwood, harewood, ebony, purplewood, rosewood and fruitwood inlaid, marquetry and parquetry architectural tea caddy attributed to William Potter of Cornhill, London Circa 1785 Inlaid in the form of a Georgian house, the front and reverse each centred by steps leading to a portico with Ionic columns, the raised hinged lid comprised of inlaid overlapping lozenges within three tablets, the roundel inset with a compass star within an eared quarter veneered cartouche with foliate angles, the reverse of the lid inlaid with two end tablets each inlaid with a conforming compass star flanking a central rosette, with a chequered border and a Greek key pattern surround, enclosing a divided mahogany interior with three hinged lidded and lead-lined canisters, each canister lid inlaid with two lozenge tablets flanking a central tablet, the two end lids each inlaid with a patera-inset roundel and the central lid with the Royal crown, on a plinth base, the underside of the canisters inscribed respectively from left to right: 'L', 'M' and 'R' 25.5cm wide, 12.5cm deep, 16.5cm high (10in wide, 4 1/2in deep, 6in high) Footnotes: The fashion for tea caddies and other boxes in the form of houses or other decorative buildings emerged in the last quarter of the 18th century and continued into the 19th century. The early caddies featured fine marquetry and parquetry inlaid decoration including a plethora of timbers and great attention was paid to architectural detailing including windows, mouldings, brickwork and rustic quoins. The majority of these caddies were made in the form of generic Palladian villas and imposing townhouses but it is possible that some specific commissions copied the exteriors of their owners own residences. Of this small group of caddies, the most famous and well documented example is an extraordinarily fine and rare caddy dating from 1786 modelled on Carlton House which was the then London home of the Prince Regent. Designed by the architect Henry Holland, the house was constructed in 1783 and demolished in 1826. The caddy was made by the cabinet maker William Potter of Cornhill and was sent by its maker to George III for his inspection. It was then subsequently raffled with fifty subscribers paying two guineas each. The subscribers included prominent aristocrats and figures of the day including Prince Augustus Frederick, the Dukes of York, Queensberry and Cornwall and Lady Elizabeth Foster together with Lord Nelson's mistress Lady Hamilton. However, ironically the caddy was won by Potter himself who had purchased several tickets. Now in the collection of the Museum of London (A7547/1), it features particularly fine inner tea cannisters which were also are inlaid with architectural detail and windows so that when they are removed from the caddy they become subsidiary pavilions flanking the main house. This caddy also features fully signed inset mother of pearl discs bearing Potters name and the date of manufacture, presumably as a form of self promotion. The offered lot can be attributed to William Potter by way of comparison to the Museum of London example due the stylistic similarities of its design and the fineness of its construction. Interestingly, although the exterior of the three inner cannisters are plainer than the two inner cannisters of the Museum of London example, the central cannister features a crown motif to its lid suggesting that it may have been commissioned from Potter by an aristocratic supporter of George III or perhaps even a member of the Royal Family in homage to the monarch. A comparable caddy, almost certainly also by Potter, was sold by Sothebys, London, Important English Furniture (including the Robert Harman collection of late 18th and early 19th century tea caddies), 12 November 1999, lot 40.
