FAQs

A sarcophagus tea caddy is a nineteenth-century storage chest for tea leaves, characterised by a lid and body that taper downwards in imitation of classical sarcophagi.

Victorian tea caddies were predominantly constructed from dense hardwoods like rosewood, mahogany, or walnut, frequently accented with brass, bone, or mother-of-pearl inlay.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, period-correct brass or iron locks, natural wood grain variation, and signs of age such as slight wear around keyholes.

An antique tea caddy can be placed on a sideboard, desk, or bookshelf as a decorative focal point alongside modern ceramics or framed artwork.

Dust the exterior regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, avoiding harsh chemicals that could loosen delicate mother-of-pearl inlay.
