Antique Silver Continental Tea Caddy

19th century
Description

A good example of an antique silver tea caddy dating from the late 19th Century. It has a lobed shape with ornate floral decoration and the lid has an acorn finial. It is a good quality piece with a gilt interior and it weighs approximately 160g.

It is a continental piece, most likely German, and is stamped to the base with various marks including 800 denoting .800 grade silver.

It is in good condition for its age and is certainly a usable piece. There are a few light surface marks and some small dings and the finial is bent (See photo) but overall it displays well.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

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

A continental silver tea caddy is a metal container crafted in mainland Europe, designed specifically to store loose tea leaves during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These containers were typically wrought from silver sheet and decorated using repousse and chasing techniques, where metal is raised from the reverse and engraved from the front to create relief patterns.

Authentic pieces carry hallmark stamps indicating silver purity and regional maker marks, alongside signs of historical hand-tooling and natural surface oxidisation inside seams and recessed details.

Small silver caddies function well as accent pieces on sideboards, book stacks, or vanity tables, pairing well with dark timber finishes and minimalist backgrounds.

Silver should be dusted regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and cleaned occasionally using a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish while preserving natural patination in recessed areas.
