FAQs

An antique teapoy or tea caddy is a specialised wooden container produced primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to store and protect loose leaf tea. Designed with lockable lids and interior compartments, these pieces often featured mahogany, satinwood, or rosewood veneers with intricate marquetry work.

Georgian tea caddies were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods such as satinwood, mahogany, and walnut, complemented by fine wood crossbanding and stringing. The interior compartments were frequently lined with foil or lead paper to preserve freshness and protect the timber from moisture.

Authentic period satinwood tea caddies display hand-cut dovetail joints, period brass hardware, and original lock mechanisms. Indications of age include natural wood shrinkage around inlays, uneven patination from light exposure, and historical wear on the interior compartments.

Place the tea caddy on a sideboard, console table, or mantelpiece as a decorative accent piece. It can be displayed open to show the detailed interior timber work, or closed to function as a refined storage container.

Keep the tea caddy away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity to prevent wood warping or veneer lifting. Clean with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
