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 chest styled after classical ancient tombs, defined by its tapered sides and raised lid, produced during the British Regency era to store imported tea leaves.

Regency tea caddies were constructed primarily from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers, featuring brass escutcheons, foil linings, and central wells fitted with cut glass blending bowls.

Authentic pieces feature period joinery such as hand-cut dovetails, natural wood patination, original brass lock plates, and twin internal canisters positioned on either side of a central glass jar.

An antique tea caddy functions as a decorative accent on sideboards, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, providing historical context while offering enclosed storage for small items.

Dust the exterior regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain, keeping the caddy away from direct sunlight and radiators to prevent timber shrinkage.
