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 tea caddy is a lockable box or canister manufactured primarily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to store dry tea leaves. Because tea was an expensive imported luxury, caddies were crafted as prominent decorative items designed to be displayed in living spaces.

Tea caddies were frequently constructed using hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, and rosewood, often enhanced with satinwood or boxwood stringing and marquetry. The interior compartments were traditionally lined with zinc, lead foil, or fabric to preserve freshness and keep moisture out.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, natural wear around edges and keyholes, and subtle irregularities consistent with hand carving and planing. They often exhibit original metal foil lining inside, historic locks, and natural wood oxidation on unvarnished surfaces.

Place a tea caddy on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or desk as a standalone decorative accent. It can function as a functional storage vessel for modern trinkets, keys, or jewellery, introducing warm timber tones into contemporary neutral schemes.

Keep the caddy out of direct sunlight and away from central heating radiators to prevent veneer warping or timber cracking. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood and maintain its sheen.
