<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 9521746, member: 18716"]Just confirm what others have said. English c1830-40, rosewood. The Chinese caddy tin is about 100 years later, it would have had a cut glass mixing bowl originally. Feet from this style are usually compressed wooden buns, often disc shaped glued in with pegs. It would have handles which were likely wooden ring types held in by turned pegs.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to make mouldings to match you can take a silicon mould of the existing ones and form some new from 'plastic wood' or similar either painting it to colour match later or mixing in pigments at time of moulding. You may also be able to find suitable mouldings/handles on scrap boxes at auction for reasonable price too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
