Strictly Vetted Dealers

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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Tea caddies emerged in the 18th century as secure, lockable containers designed to preserve and protect precious imported tea leaves. Originally crafted as luxurious status symbols, they evolved from small canisters into elaborate decorative wooden chests during the Georgian and Regency periods.

Antique tea caddies were predominantly constructed from fine cabinet woods such as mahogany, rosewood, and burr maple, often featuring foil-lined compartments to prevent moisture damage. Metal mounts, brass bail handles, bone escutcheons, and inlaid cartouches were frequently incorporated for visual ornament.

Authentic period caddies generally exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass or steel locks, and natural signs of age such as shrinkage marks in the timber. The presence of original foil linings, brass handles, or silver-plated trim also helps verify 18th- or 19th-century origin.

A wooden tea caddy functions well as a decorative tabletop accent on a sideboard, coffee table, or bookshelf. It serves both an aesthetic purpose, introducing warmth and texture, and a practical purpose for discreetly storing small accessories or trinkets.

Dust the wooden surface regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally to nourish the timber. Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent the wood veneer from drying out or cracking.
