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

During the 18th century, loose tea leaves were an expensive imported commodity, prompting craftsmen to create secure, lockable wooden containers known as tea caddies for home storage.

Georgian tea caddies were frequently constructed using fine timber veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, or satinwood, often fitted with metal handles, foil-lined interiors, and metal escutcheons.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct lock mechanisms, natural wood shrinkage along the grain, and accumulated patina across the veneer surface.

An antique tea caddy can be displayed as a decorative accent piece on a sideboard, bookshelf, or mantelpiece to introduce rich timber grain and historical texture into a room scheme.

Dust the surface regularly using a soft, dry cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish periodically, ensuring the box remains away from direct heat sources and sunlight to preserve the veneer.
