FAQs

A Victorian sarcophagus tea caddy is a 19th-century wooden container designed to store tea leaves, characterised by a lid that tapers upward, resembling an ancient sarcophagus.

These containers were typically crafted from dense timbers such as rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring brass fittings, bone escutcheons, and metal-foil-lined interiors.

Authentic examples display age-appropriate patina, hand-cut dovetail joinery, original lock mechanisms, and period features such as turned bun feet and carved bead moulding.

These small wooden boxes function well on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or console, serving as historic accent pieces or storage for small objects.

Maintain timber finishes by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying high-grade beeswax sparingly to protect the original surface finish.
