FAQs

Tea caddies originated as lockable containers for storing expensive tea leaves securely. During the Victorian period, advances in manufacturing allowed for highly ornate designs featuring embossed and chased scenes.

While early examples were predominantly made from exotic woods with brass inlay, later 19th-century pieces were frequently crafted from sterling silver using techniques like repousse, chasing, and hand-embossing.

Authentic pieces feature British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, including a makers mark, standard mark indicating sterling silver, a leopards head for London or another assay office symbol, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year.

An antique silver piece adds a layer of metallic reflection and historic texture when placed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open bookshelf alongside contemporary ceramics and glassware.

Preserve antique silver by gently dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and using specialized silver polish sparingly only when necessary to avoid wearing down fine embossed details.
