Welcome to the antique box
and tea caddy place. The online virtual museum. We also stock boxed games such as, Cribbage boxes, Pope Joan boxes, chess sets, card boxes. As long as the box is as important as the game. The website is primarily maintained as an information source on antique boxes and caddies. The boxes shown are not necessarily in our current inventory. It has become the virtual museum of antique boxes and caddies!

A little more about us: Our names are Antigone and Joseph. We value and try to preserve original finishes and condition. We also deal in stringed instruments:- Lutes, mandolins, classical guitars, and 'uds (ouds /Arabic lute). By avoiding the high overheads and crowds of the popular antique centers we can offer buyers quality stock at reasonable prices. We can ship items anywhere in the world using Federal Express. Many destinations can be next day. For more shipping information see Terms of Business. Joseph will undertake restoration or conservation of museum quality early stringed instruments. Reports on conservation, care and historical background can also be undertaken in conjunction with restoration/conservation work. Joseph has been a maker (lute 'ud and guitar)/dealer/conservator of plucked string instruments for over twenty five years and his workshop (same address) is included on the register of conservators maintained by the Conservation Unit of the Museums and Galleries Commission. Antigone has been dealing in boxes for over twenty five years. She started the well known "Box Shop" which was located at Camden Passage. She has examined boxes as a collector, dealer, advisor, cataloguer and conservator and writer. In the hope that her many years of experience will offer some guidance both to collectors and to people who wish to use beautiful things as a way of enhancing their environment, Antigone has now published a selection of her box notes on the Internet and the book. This site is still under construction (and probably always will be) and new illustrations and information will be added continually as time permits. New articles will be added, as they are prepared. Bookmark this page now by pressing Ctrl d. Email Antiques Boxes with orders/enquiries.
