Lovely Late Regency Rosewood Sarcophagus-Shaped Tea Caddy – c.1815–1825
A beautiful late Regency period rosewood tea caddy crafted in the desirable sarcophagus form, standing on turned bun feet and retaining its original brass ring handle and diamond-shaped escutcheon.
The caddy opens to reveal two original interior lidded tea compartments, one to each side. These would have flanked a central recess designed to hold a glass mixing bowl—this glass bowl is now missing, as is common with examples of this age. Has marks/ discolouration to areas of the lid as photographed
Made from rich, figured rosewood with classic Regency lines, this is a wonderful piece for collectors of period tea caddies or those seeking elegant decorative antiques.
