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

Tea caddies emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century to securely store loose tea leaves, which were high-value imported commodities. Early examples were crafted with tight-sealing lids or locks to preserve freshness and safeguard the contents.

Traditional silver tea caddies were crafted from sterling silver using metalsmithing techniques such as casting, hand-chasing, and repousse relief work. Lids were constructed with precise bezels or friction-fit caps to maintain an airtight seal.

Authentic pieces display official assay hallmarks, makers marks, date letters, and standard purity stamps impressed into the metal. Hand-raised shaping, hand-tooled decoration, and subtle wear around friction points also indicate age and authenticity.

A silver tea caddy functions as a refined accent piece on a sideboard top, drinks trolley, or bookshelf alongside glassware and ceramics. It can also serve as decorative storage on a dressing table or desk surface.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a mild silver polish applied with a soft cotton cloth. Washing with harsh chemical cleansers should be avoided, and items should be displayed away from high humidity to prevent accelerated oxidisation.
