FAQs

Tea caddies originated in the 17th century when tea was an expensive, luxury commodity imported from Asia, requiring secure storage vessels often fitted with locks.

Antique tea caddies were crafted from a variety of materials including precious metals like silver and silver plate, various hardwoods such as mahogany and tortoiseshell, and occasionally porcelain.

Authentic pieces are identified through hallmarks, construction methods appropriate to the era, such as hand-cut dovetails or traditional plating techniques, and period-specific decorative motifs.

These pieces function well as decorative objects on sideboards, coffee tables, or open shelving, adding metallic texture and historical interest to modern spaces.

Silver plated items should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the underlying plate.
