FAQs

Chinoiserie is a European artistic style that reflects Chinese artistic influences, popularised in the 17th and 18th centuries through trade with East Asia, featuring motifs such as pagodas, figures, and landscapes.

Antique tea caddies were typically crafted from hardwoods such as pine or mahogany, then finished with layers of lacquer, often decorated with hand-painted gilt designs and fitted with metal locks and hinges.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-mixed lacquer finishes with natural crazing, genuine wear consistent with age, hand-applied gilt work, and period-appropriate hardware such as brass escutcheons.

Place the caddy on a console table, bookshelf, or coffee table as a focal point to introduce rich colour, historical texture, and a global accent to contemporary spaces.

Keep lacquerware away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent cracking, dusting gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth without using chemical cleaners or polishes.
