This Regency tea caddy dates from 1800 and adopts a traditional sarcophagus form executed in dark brown rosewood. The exterior features delicate mother-of-pearl inlay arranged in floral and geometric motifs across the lid and the front panel, complemented by a central brass keyhole escutcheon and a gadrooned base border. Dark wood side ring handles are attached to the flanks, and the box is raised on four turned bun feet beneath carved mouldings. The hinged cover opens to reveal the original fitted interior with two compartments for storing tea leaves. The dimensions measure 16 cm high, 25 cm wide, and 12.5 cm deep. In a modern interior, this piece serves as a decorative tabletop accessory suitable for placement on a sideboard, console table, or desk. It functions as a secure storage container for small collectables or retains its historical role as a distinguished display object in a living room, study, or dining room setting.

FAQs

A Regency tea caddy is a decorative portable box crafted during the early 19th century, designed specifically to lock away and preserve valuable loose-leaf tea.

Craftsmen typically constructed these boxes using fine hardwoods such as rosewood or mahogany, incorporating mother-of-pearl inlays, brass lock escutcheons, and velvet or foil linings.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct joinery, historic hardware oxidisation, natural veneer wear, and hand-carved decorative elements such as gadrooned borders or turned feet.

An antique tea caddy functions as a refined accent piece on a sideboard, desk, or mantelpiece, offering historical context alongside discreet storage for modern trinkets.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer movement, dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly.
