Antique Regency Mahogany Sarcophagus Box
Antique Regency Mahogany Sarcophagus Box
Couldn't load pickup availability
A mahogany box in the full sarcophagus shape, with canted shoulders, bun feet and a pair of grape-basket ring handles at the ends. Boxes of this form were commonly made in the Regency years for tea, sewing and keepsakes. This one is lined in green patterned fabric and sits well on a desk, a console or a coffee table.
The lock is broken and the box cannot be locked. There is no key. The interior is unfitted, with no tea canisters or mixing bowl. The green fabric lining is fraying along the edges and seams, with loose threads, and there is reddish-brown staining to the lining at the base of the interior. The back right bun foot has been repaired and glued back on. There is a small loss to the pale edge banding along the top edge of the lid beside one handle, and there are scratches to the lid. The remaining feet show wear. The underside carries a green covering with losses that expose bare wood in several patches, and the retailer’s plate is fixed over it. I have not claimed the lining, handles, hinges or lock as original to the box, and I have not established the surface. The lid stays open on its own. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
