FAQs

During the Georgian period, functional wooden trays and caddies were crafted for domestic service in country houses to transport and organise cutlery or tableware.

These items were typically constructed from native English hardwoods such as oak or elm, often featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged construction, and a central upright carrying handle.

Authenticity is determined by examining timber shrinkage, hand-tool marks, period-appropriate fixings, and the natural oxidisation or patina accumulated over centuries.

This piece can be utilised on a dining table, sideboard, or kitchen counter to hold napkins, utensils, or small dried botanicals, adding texture and historic character to modern spaces.

Preserve the timber by keeping the item away from direct heat sources and sudden humidity changes, occasionally treating the surface with microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
