FAQs

Tea caddies originated in the 18th century when tea was an expensive, luxury commodity stored securely under lock and key by the head of the household.

Authentic pieces were typically constructed from high-value decorative timbers such as yew, mahogany, or burr walnut, featuring intricate stringing, brass escutcheons, and handmade dovetail joints.

Authentication involves examining the hand-cut dovetails, older secondary woods inside, original brass hardware, and natural oxidisation patterns in the timber grain.

These versatile boxes work well placed on a side table or mantelpiece, providing textural warmth and a focal point of historic craftsmanship within contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and applying microcrystalline wax periodically to maintain the surface condition.
