FAQs

George III tea caddies date from the late 18th to early 19th century when tea was a highly valuable commodity, necessitating secure, lockable containers to preserve its flavour and prevent theft.

These pieces were typically constructed from fine timbers such as mahogany, rosewood, or burr walnut, often featuring dovetail joints, brass escutcheons, and internal compartments lined with foil or paper.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetailing, period-appropriate timber grain oxidation, original brass hardware, and traditional hand-planed internal surfaces rather than modern machine tooling.

A period tea caddy functions well as a decorative tabletop object on a console table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, adding texture, history, and warmth to minimalist or eclectic modern schemes.

Preserve the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent splitting, and maintain the finish by occasionally applying microcrystalline wax rather than modern liquid polishes.
