FAQs

An Edwardian silver tea caddy is a small, ornate container made of sterling silver produced during the reign of King Edward VII, historically used to store and protect loose tea leaves from moisture and air.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques such as repousse and chasing, where designs are hammered into relief from the reverse side.

Authenticity is verified by examining British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, standard sterling mark, city assay office mark (such as Chester), and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of production.

An antique silver caddy can be placed on a mantlepiece, bookshelf, or side table as a reflective metallic accent that contrasts effectively against contemporary minimalist decor or complements traditional spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and a mild silver polish specifically formulated for antiques, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural oxidisation from recessed details.
