The richly-carved tea-caddy relates to patterns for 'Tea Chests' published by Thomas Chippendale in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's and Director, 1754, plate 129. Mary Tillotson (1843-1918) was sister of William Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme (1851-1925) and in 1870 was married to William Frederick Tillotson.
