FAQs

Tea caddies originated in the 18th century when tea was an expensive commodity, necessitating secure, lockable containers to protect the valuable leaves from theft and moisture.

Craftsmen typically utilised fine hardwoods such as mahogany, yew, burr walnut, and rosewood, frequently incorporating decorative stringing, brass hardware, and interior foil or wooden compartments.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the dovetail joints, hand-cut screws, type of secondary wood used inside, patination of the timber, and the presence of period-correct escutcheons and locks.

Such decorative boxes work well placed on a side table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, serving as a textured focal point that adds historic character to contemporary spaces.

Keep wooden items out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent warping, and periodically apply microcrystalline wax to nourish and protect the finish.
