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

A tea caddy is a portable box or chest designed specifically to store dry tea leaves. In 18th-century Europe, imported tea was a costly luxury, prompting woodworkers to design lockable caddies that served as functional symbols of social status.

Early 18th-century tea caddies were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or fruitwood, often detailed with brass, steel, or silver escutcheons and carrying handles.

Authentic period caddies display hand-cut dovetail joinery, period-correct lock mechanisms, subtle natural wood shrinkage along seams, and a distinct aged surface patina developed over centuries.

A historical tea caddy functions well placed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to add warmth and tactile historic interest alongside contemporary decorative items.

Clean the surface gently using a dry microfiber cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and high humidity to prevent wood warping.
