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

During the eighteenth century, imported tea was a costly luxury item requiring secure storage under lock and key. Cabinetmakers crafted ornate wooden caddies, often in satinwood or mahogany, to sit prominently in drawing rooms as symbols of household status.

Craftsmen typically utilised high-grade cabinet woods such as satinwood, mahogany, and rosewood, accented with ebony or boxwood stringing. The interiors were often lined with foil or lead to protect tea leaves from moisture.

Authentic period examples generally display hand-cut dovetail joints, genuine brass hardware with natural oxidisation, and hand-inlaid veneer detailing. Age-appropriate wear around the keyhole and interior rim also indicates genuine age.

A tea caddy works well as a decorative focal point on a sideboard, bookshelf, or desk. Pairing it alongside modern ceramic pieces or framed artwork balances traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetic layering.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent veneer movement or splitting. Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish sparingly to protect the historic surface finish.
