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

Produced during the mid-18th century, George II tea caddies were functional lockable boxes designed to store valuable tea leaves, frequently crafted from imported hardwoods like padouk or mahogany with brass embellishments.

18th-century tea caddies were constructed using fine hardwoods such as padouk, mahogany, and walnut, complemented by cast or pressed brass handles, corner brackets, and keyhole escutcheon plates.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joinery, natural wear patterns around original brass fittings, historical oxidisation inside the timber, and period-correct lock mechanisms.

An antique tea caddy serves as a sophisticated accent piece when positioned on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk, introducing historical texture to modern decorative schemes.

Dust regularly using a dry, soft microfiber cloth, apply natural beeswax sparingly to preserve the timber finish, and avoid exposure to direct heat or sunlight to prevent wood movement.
