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

In the 18th and 19th centuries, imported tea leaves were an expensive luxury item. Tea caddies were designed as lockable wooden or metal containers to securely store loose leaf tea and protect it from light, moisture, and theft.

Victorian cabinetmakers predominantly constructed tea caddies using hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, or walnut, often applying decorative veneers, brass or ivory stringing, and zinc or lead alloy foil linings inside the compartments.

Authentic 19th-century examples display hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass drop hinges or stop hinges, minor shrinkage marks around timber joints, and natural oxidisation or wear to internal compartments.

A tea caddy functions well as an accent piece when positioned on a sideboard, desk, or entryway console table. It can be displayed closed as a decorative object or kept open to store small modern items such as keys or stationery.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry lint-free cloth and apply a thin layer of natural beeswax polish annually to protect the original finish. Keep the item away from direct sunlight, radiators, and damp environments to prevent wood warping or veneer lifting.
