FAQs

Victorian tea caddies evolved from luxury storage boxes used when tea was an expensive commodity, incorporating ornate craftsmanship favoured during the 19th century.

These pieces were typically handcrafted from sterling silver using techniques such as repousse, chasing, and casting, often featuring fitted lids and hallmark stamps.

Authenticity is determined by verifying clear silversmith hallmarks, date letters, lion passants for sterling standard, and examining wear patterns consistent with age.

An antique silver tea caddy can be displayed as a focal point on a mantelpiece or sideboard, contrasting polished metal against contemporary surfaces.

Preserve antique silver by dusting with a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and storing it in a stable environment away from high humidity.
