About Discover timeless elegance with this stunning Antique Victorian statement box. Sourced directly from an antique shop in the Cotswolds, this authentic mid-19th-century piece features the classic, sophisticated lines of the traditional sarcophagus form. The exterior showcases a deeply figured rosewood veneer that serves as a dramatic backdrop for the remarkably crisp, flowing bird's-eye maple floral inlay across the front panel and top. The striking, high-contrast graphic quality of this exotic wood combination makes it an instant focal point—perfect for styling a bookshelf, mantle, or entry console.
Dimensions 9”L x 5.5”W x 5.5”H
Condition This piece is in untouched antique condition with a gorgeous historical patina. Interior tea lids and the small mother-of-pearl keyhole escutcheon are absent from its past life as a tea caddy and some of the veneer on the back and sides is worn, as shown in photos.
