Paul Jacques de Lamerie

Cleveland Museum of Art

The lid of a Tea Caddy by Paul Jacques de Lamerie is gold-colored and made of metal. The lid has a long, flat base that is wider at one end than the other. It features an ornate design with leaves and flowers. A central knob is situated at the wider end of the lid, which appears to be shaped like a leaf or a shell. The lid is decorated with intricate engravings or etchings, giving it a luxurious and ornate appearance. The background of the image is a plain gray color, allowing the lid to be the focal point.
