FAQs

A teapoy is a small decorative table or stand featuring a lidded box on top, historically used in the nineteenth century to store loose tea leaves when tea was an expensive commodity.

High-end antique teapoys were typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or calamander, often featuring intricate veneer work and brass fittings.

Authentic pieces generally display period-appropriate joinery, hand-cut dovetails, genuine timber shrinkage, and traditional brass castors beneath the pedestal base.

A teapoy functions effectively as a sculptural occasional stand in a living room or study, allowing the rich grain of the timber to provide warmth and historic contrast to modern furnishings.

Maintain antique rosewood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the timber.
