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

Tea caddies emerged in the eighteenth century as locked containers designed to safeguard loose-leaf tea, which was an expensive luxury commodity imported into Europe.

Cabinetmakers primarily utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, combined with hand-cast brass handles, escutcheons, and foil-lined interior compartments.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail joinery, hand-turned brass hardware, authentic lock mechanisms, and subtle wood shrinkage consistent with age.

A tea caddy functions effectively as a decorative tabletop object on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, adding warm wood tones and historical depth to a room scheme.

Dust the surface regularly with a clean microfibre cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the original patina and grain.
