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.

This early 19th-century Regency mahogany teapoy displays a warm brown finish across its rich timber grain, crossbanded borders, and turned wooden knob handles. The hinged tapered box opens to reveal two wooden containers with lids and two compartment spaces, while the exterior shows a keyhole escutcheon on the front panel and smooth moulded detailing along the lid edge. The cabinet sits atop a turned pedestal column that rests on three cabriole legs decorated with acanthus leaf carvings at the knees, reeded surfaces along the shafts, and brass toe castors at the feet. This compact piece measures 76 cm high, 42 cm wide, and 39 cm deep. In a modern interior, this versatile tea caddy serves well as a distinctive side table or accent piece placed within an empty corner, beside a seating arrangement, or in a study to provide both surface display area and concealed storage. The classic proportions and traditional silhouette integrate smoothly into heritage or traditional rooms while offering functional storage for small household items.

FAQs

A teapoy is a specialised item of furniture, popular during the 18th and early 19th centuries, designed specifically to store and prepare tea. It consists of a secure chest or caddy mounted on a central pedestal or tripod stand.

Teapoys were typically crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, frequently accented with satinwood or rosewood crossbanding. Internal compartments often featured zinc linings, foil-lined wooden boxes, or glass mixing bowls.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joinery on internal canisters, hand-turned pedestal supports, original brass locks with keyholes, and hand-carved legs fitted with brass castors.

A teapoy functions effectively as a decorative accent table or side pedestal in a living room, hall, or study. Its compact proportion makes it suitable for tight corners or positioned alongside accent seating.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax polish along the wood grain once or twice annually. Position the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to protect the timber and finish.
