The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, tea was an expensive commodity imported to Britain. Wooden tea caddies were designed with lockable lids to secure loose leaf tea, acting as both practical storage and status symbols displayed in grand reception rooms.

Georgian caddies were typically constructed from fine woods such as mahogany, walnut, or satinwood, often decorated with flame veneers, ebony stringing, or crossbanding. Interior compartments were lined with metal foil or lead to protect the tea leaves from moisture and light.

Authentic period caddies exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, bone or mother-of-pearl keyhole escutcheons, and natural wear around the base and hinge line. The wood surface generally displays deep patination, subtle irregularities, and historical oxidisation.

A antique wooden caddy functions as a refined accent piece when placed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk. It adds warmth and historical texture to contemporary interiors, serving either as a decorative object or for discreet small storage.

Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the timber. Keep the box away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage, cracking, or fading of the veneer.
