A spectacular Regency sarcophagus form tea caddy circa 1810. Veneered in rich, medium brown rosewood, the caddy showcases a distinguished profile with a beveled and inverted trapezoidal hinged lid that echoes the form of the tapered rectangular body, decorated throughout with elegant floral sprays of iridescent inlaid mother of pearl and flanked by metal loop handles. The lid opens to two lidded raised compartments flanking a central recess with a circular center.
Condition
A beautiful piece overall with some wear commensurate with age and use, including scuffs, nicks, and finish wear. One handle is detached but included. A spot of veneer loss to the lower right corner along the base. Checking across the length of the underside that does not affect the outward appearance.
Measurements
7 1/2" H x 7 1/2" D x 13 1/2" L
