18th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A truly elegant example of an eighteenth century English silver tea caddy in beautiful condition given it's over 250 years old.

Fitted with a pull off lid with an acorn shaped finial, the caddy is a good size and a good weight, weighing 7.33 Troy Ounces / 228 Grams.

The caddy is fully hallmarked for London 1769 together with the makers mark for the top-notch silversmith, Emick Romer.

Emick Romer, son of Michel Michelsen Romer, goldsmith of Oslo (1682 - 1739) born 2 August, 1724. Seems to have settled in a London in the early 1750s. First mark entered in the missing register around 1758 and was working at 123, High Holborn.

Candlesticks were also a speciality and most of them have finely pierced decoration to the capitals. Seems to have returned to Norway by May 1795, where he settled in Halden, in the south of the country. A maker of fine and unusual pieces.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the eighteenth century, tea was a costly import in Europe, requiring secure and decorative storage. Silver tea caddies were crafted by silversmiths to preserve tea leaves, evolving from simple rectangular containers into elaborate vase and urn forms during the George III period.

High-grade sterling silver (925 standard) was raised from sheet metal by hammering and shaped by hand. Decorative details such as spiral fluting, chased borders, turned pedestal feet, and finial lids were created using specialist silversmithing techniques.

Authentic pieces feature full British hallmarks, typically stamped on the base or rim, including the makers mark, town mark, sterling lion passant, and specific date letter. Physical indicators include hand-hammered interior surfaces and period-appropriate wear to high-relief details.

A silver tea caddy functions well as a decorative focal point on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or styled within a glass display cabinet. Its reflective surface adds texture and warmth when paired with dark timber surfaces, books, or ceramic pieces.

Clean gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialized silver polish to remove tarnish while preserving the natural patina in carved grooves. Avoid abrasive cleaners, submerging in water, or exposure to high humidity.
