This Victorian tea caddy dates from 1850 and is formed from warm brown burr walnut with a visible swirling grain pattern. The rectangular box has a bevelled lid decorated with ornate engraved and pierced brass strapwork, alongside a matching floral brass keyhole escutcheon on the front. Inside, the lidded compartment opens to reveal two burr walnut arched top tea caddies. Measuring 16 cm high, 23.5 cm wide, and 13 cm deep, the caddy sits on a flat surface and serves as a decorative storage piece. It finds a practical home today placed upon a sideboard top in a gentleman's library or living room.

FAQs

A Victorian tea caddy is a specialised wooden or metal container designed during the nineteenth century to store and preserve dry tea leaves.

Victorian tea caddies frequently utilised highly figured timber veneers, such as burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, paired with brass fittings and foil linings inside the compartments.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut joinery, period-appropriate lock mechanisms, natural grain variations in the burr veneer, and age-consistent oxidation on metal mountings.

An antique tea caddy functions well as a decorative accent on a sideboard top, desk, or bookshelf, offering subtle concealed storage for small personal items.

Keep the wood away from direct sunlight and heat sources, apply a beeswax polish sparingly to the veneer, and gently buff the brass mounts with a soft dry cloth.
