On offer is a rare and elegant antique pewter tea caddy in the distinctive sarcophagus form, dating to the 19th century. This beautifully proportioned piece is a fine example of Georgian or early Victorian taste, with sharp lines, raised feet, and ornate relief decoration on all sides, including the lid.

Shaped like a classical sarcophagus, this caddy was designed to house precious tea leaves at a time when tea was still considered a luxury commodity. The pewter construction gives it a subtle, silvery patina, and the engraved or embossed motifs around the body suggest neoclassical influence, popular during the early 1800s.

This caddy stands on four paw feet, elevating the piece with both literal and visual balance. Its condition is very good — free from damage, cracks, or repairs — with just the gentle age-related wear one would expect from a genuine antique.
