FAQs

Tea caddies originated in the 17th century when tea was an expensive luxury imported from Asia, requiring secure, lockable containers to preserve its value and flavour.

Craftsmen typically utilised fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, burr walnut, and yew, often featuring intricate veneer work, brass escutcheons, and velvet or foil linings.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate locking mechanisms, natural timber ageing, and construction methods consistent with Georgian or Victorian cabinet making.

This piece can be styled functionally on a side table, console, or bookshelf, adding rich natural textures and historical character to contemporary living spaces.

Maintain timber pieces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent wood shrinkage, applying microcrystalline wax sparingly to nourish the polished surface.
