FAQs

A Georgian tea caddy is a specialized storage container created during the 18th and early 19th centuries to securely store precious and expensive tea leaves.

Traditional construction involved fine timbers such as satinwood, mahogany, and rosewood, frequently enhanced with intricate veneer work, brass escutcheons, and mother-of-pearl inlay.

Authenticity is determined by examining the interior construction, hand-cut dovetail joints, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, and the natural ageing and patination of the timber.

Place the caddy on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or coffee table as a focal point to introduce historic texture and refined craftsmanship into a room.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and dramatic humidity changes, treating the timber occasionally with a microcrystalline wax to protect the historic polish.
