FAQs

Tea caddies originated in 18th-century Britain when tea was an expensive, luxury commodity kept under lock and key by the head of the household.

They were typically crafted from fine hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and burl walnut, often featuring interior linings of foil, pewter, or multiple compartments.

Authenticity is indicated by period-accurate construction methods, hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass or steel hardware, and internal ageing consistent with the 18th or early 19th century.

These pieces function well as decorative tabletop objects on sideboards or coffee tables, serving both as historical display items and discreet storage.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and occasionally applying high-quality beeswax, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners and direct sunlight.
