Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the eighteenth century, imported tea was a costly luxury commodity across Europe. Secure wooden caddies fitted with locks were produced to protect stored tea leaves from theft by servants and preserve their flavour profile.

Cabinetmakers employed native and imported hardwoods such as yew, mahogany, walnut, and satinwood. Internal compartments were frequently lined with metal foil or lead to shield the tea from light and moisture.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct lock mechanisms with brass escutcheons, and natural wear around the keyhole and base. Natural timber contraction over centuries often causes slight irregularity in dimensions.

A tea caddy can be styled on a sideboard, console table, or bookshelf as a decorative object. It serves a functional role as a tabletop storage solution for keys, desk accessories, or small keepsakes.

Dust regularly using a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically to maintain timber hydration. Keep timber objects away from direct sunlight and radiators to avoid cracking, warping, or surface bleaching.
