FAQs

Tunbridge Ware is a form of inlaid woodwork, characterised by micro-mosaic marquetry, produced primarily in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Victorian tea caddies were constructed from hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, featuring lead or foil linings to protect tea leaves and exterior wood tesserae inlay.

Authentic pieces exhibit geometric or floral mosaic motifs created from naturally coloured wooden strips glued into blocks and sliced, rather than painted designs, accompanied by period brass hardware and light surface wear.

A tea caddy functions well as a decorative accent on a sideboard top, desk, or open bookshelf, offering compact storage for small personal items while adding historical wood textures to a room.

Keep inlaid wooden items away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer lifting or wood movement, wiping down gently with a dry microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly.
