Karen here and I was thrilled to receive the beautiful drop leaf wooden tea cart and the new Colonial Cutlery Set.
I was excited to get the new and improved tea cart as I have the original cart and wanted to see the changes that the new cart featured. I noticed immediately the height difference. The new cart is a much better and more natural height for our 18 inch dolls. The larger front wheels give the cart a more antique and elegant feel. The new cart also doesn’t have top screws showing and a removable tea tray shelf.
I have had the Antique Rose Fine China Tea Set for a few years now and I love it because it matches my own china collection. It works so well with all my 18 inch dolls and it looks beautiful! The recent addition of the Colonial Cutlery Set brings me such joy!
The set of four forks, knives and spoons in the wooden cutlery tray slide nicely under the cart when not used in play. They are a good weight. This cart is so wide that I did not even need to open the second leaf for this photo! It is a great play piece.
The new cutlery set and the drop leaf cart make my dolly tea parties even more special. Thank you to The Queen’s Treasures for allowing me to review these special items.
Love it! I have a reproduction tea cart in real size for myself. Something about tea carts and tea parties that make me smile.
This set and cutlery look fabulous! Do you know about what they retail for?
I have the cutlery set and love it! It really does look like they made great improvments on the new tea cart!
Madelon, I believe retail price is $29.99 but I just checked Amazon and it is 19.99 right now. Hope this helps!
The cutlery set caught my eye immediately, as it is identical to my daughter’s full-size set by Oneida – I wonder if they still make it?
The tea cart is $44.99 on the Queen’s Treasure web site – great price!
I am a fan of tea carts – just love them – one day I will have room for one! I saw a round tea table once, to go with a tea cart – so beautiful. The top folded down – a piece of wood underneath slid out to hold the table up – very sturdy – perfect all the food goodies. Love the improvements on the tea cart 🙂
Yes, it does help. Thank you!
I think the silverware is silver plate, too! How’s that for class?!
This is SUCH a gorgeous set! It would be awesome for Felicity or Lydia, I think.

Thank you for this review, Karen—the new tea cart and the cutlery set look as if they are both very well made and excellent props for tea parties. Charlsea is gorgeous and looks delighted to be preparing for her tea party!
