A tea poy is a small table or stand dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, specifically designed to hold tea caddies and facilitate the serving of tea in affluent households.

Cabinet makers of the William IV era frequently utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and exotic veneers like satinwood, often featuring hand-carved pedestal bases and brass fittings.

Authentic pieces typically feature heavy, robust proportions reflecting the transitional style between Regency and early Victorian periods, characterised by carved scrolling foliage, fluted pillars, and traditional dovetail joinery.

This piece works well as a sculptural side table in a sitting room or drawing room, allowing its rich wood grain and historical character to act as a focal point next to modern upholstered seating.

Maintain satinwood surfaces by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and periodically applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture exposure.
