Tea Crate/Tea Chest
Tea Crate/Tea Chest
Sturdy wooden tea chests with their original stencilled markings, once used to ship tea around the world and later put to work as packing crates by 1980s removal firms. Each one carries the knocks and lettering of its travels.
They make a characterful bedside table, laundry box or blanket store, and look just as good stacked in a café, shop or at an event. Add a lid for closed storage.

Please note
Photographs show examples of the chests we have sourced; markings vary from chest to chest. Because they are fragile, tea chests travel by courier, and up to three chests go for a single courier charge. If we are out of stock, allow 1–2 weeks. Email hello@styleandsource.co.uk to ask about the chests we have now.

Please note: this is an original piece rather than a reproduction. It will carry marks and wear consistent with its age, which are part of its character rather than a fault.
