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

A tea caddy is a container created specifically to hold dried tea leaves. Emerging in Europe during the seventeenth century and gaining widespread popularity in the eighteenth century, tea caddies were often equipped with locks because tea was a high-value import commodity.

Historic tea caddies were crafted using timber such as mahogany, walnut, rosewood, and yew, often embellished with burr veneers and line marquetry. Interiors frequently featured foil linings, velvet fabric, and bone or ivory turned knobs.

Authentic Georgian examples typically feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass hinges or escutcheons, natural shrinkage marks in the wood, and evidence of lead foil lining or original velvet inside the lid.

A wooden tea caddy can be displayed on a sideboard, desk, or open bookshelf to add historical texture. It functions well as a decorative focal point or as a container for small personal items.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent the veneer from drying or fading. Apply a natural beeswax polish periodically using a soft cloth to protect the timber surface.
