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 wooden, metallic, or ceramic container designed to store and preserve dry tea leaves during the 18th and 19th centuries when tea was a costly import in Britain.

Craftspeople primarily utilised rich hardwoods such as rosewood, mahogany, and walnut, often accentuating the exterior with brass escutcheons, mother-of-pearl inlays, or foil-lined interior compartments.

Authentic pieces typically feature natural wood grain variations, hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, and evidence of historical wear around the base and keyhole.

A tea caddy functions well as a decorative accent on a sideboard, coffee table, or mantelpiece, serving as a functional box for keys, trinkets, or stationery.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish occasionally, keeping the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent cracking or fading.
