Magnificent vintage oriental black lacquered jewelry chest with agate or jade figurines which is what makes this box so lovely! See all the photos. It is quite a large chest and features 4 ladies in kimonos and one seated male. It is a statement piece. It has brass hinges and 3 drawers including and a top drawer. The lacquer is alligatored, indicating age. Some minor age/wear flaws, mainly on the interior of chest. It has a dark stain on the red silk lining of top interior drawer; some tiny spots on the sides where lacquer is nicked or crackled, and some paint loss on interior lid rim, and on the lid above one of the boats, but overall, this chest is in good condition for its age. Age est: 1930's-40's, but it could be even earlier. It is 13.25 long x 10.5 tall x 8.75 deep, and has brass handles on each side of chest. The brass has a nice darkened patina on it. Much smaller chests like this are selling at auction for over $200, why pay more? This lovely chest makes a great furniture accessory item in an ecclectic, traditional, or oriental style room! 6/flcs
