Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A sarcophagus tea caddy is a wooden storage vessel featuring tapered sides inspired by ancient stone coffins, popularised during the Regency and early Victorian eras for storing loose-leaf tea.

High-quality hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and walnut were primarily used, frequently featuring decorative inlays of ebony, mother-of-pearl, or bone alongside brass hardware and foil linings.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-cut dovetail joinery, age-related timber shrinkage, brass escutcheons with slotted hand-cut screws, and residual metal foil or zinc lining inside the compartments.

These decorative containers function as sophisticated accent pieces on sideboards, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, providing decorative interest while offering discreet storage for small personal items.

Keep the caddy away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to avoid veneer cracking, dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax polish periodically.
