FAQs

Tea caddies were secure, lockable containers introduced in the eighteenth century to store tea leaves. Harewood refers to sycamore or maple wood that was stained with iron sulphate solutions to produce a distinctive grey-brown tone, widely favoured during the Georgian period.

Eighteenth-century tea caddies were typically crafted from cabinet woods such as mahogany, satinwood, or harewood, often lined with lead foil to preserve freshness. Construction featured fine hand-cut joinery, decorative marquetry, husk swags, and bone or brass fittings.

Genuine period caddies exhibit hand-planed interiors, natural timber shrinkage along joinery, and natural oxidisation on metal components. Original bone escutcheons and remnants of foil lining are key structural indicators of eighteenth-century manufacture.

A decorative tea caddy functions effectively as a focal accent on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece. It serves as an intriguing historical accent while providing storage for small personal keepsakes.

Keep timber objects away from direct heat sources and fluctuating humidity to prevent veneer movement or splitting. Clean gently with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
