Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

A teapoy is a pedestal-mounted chest or caddy originating in the 18th century and remaining popular through the Victorian era, specifically designed to store various blends of high-value loose tea leaves before the widespread availability of packaged tea.

Teapoys were typically constructed from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often featuring decorative veneer work like flame mahogany, internal compartmentalised canisters, and sturdy pillar-and-base pedestal supports.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as hand-cut dovetails on internal boxes, honest timber shrinkage, genuine brass hardware or locks, and secondary woods typical of the region and era of manufacture.

An antique teapoy functions effectively as a sculptural accent or side piece in traditional and eclectic spaces, allowing its rich wood grain and historical character to serve as a focal point in a living room or study.

Maintain mahogany surfaces by keeping them away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber cracking, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying traditional beeswax to nourish the polished grain.
