FAQs

During the Victorian era, tea was an expensive commodity, so tea caddies were designed as secure, lidded containers to store and preserve loose leaves, often featuring lockable mechanisms to protect the valuable contents.

They were typically constructed from sterling silver or silver-plate, often featuring hand-engraved motifs, chased ornamentation, fitted interiors, and mounted upon small bracket or bun feet.

Authenticity is usually verified through hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the assay office, makers mark, and date letter corresponding to the reign of Queen Victoria.

These pieces function well as sophisticated decorative accents on a sideboard, coffee table, or mantelpiece, adding metallic texture and historical contrast to modern schemes.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to maintain the patina while removing harmful tarnish.
