First time poster so I apologize if I'm not doing something right. My grandmother recently passed and as we were cleaning up her house we found this old Mah-jongg set. I did some digging and I think it may be from the 1920s? I'm not sure though.
The backs of the tiles look to be bamboo and the tiles themselves appear to be bone. It has quite a few obvious chips and cracks and is missing the sticks, dice and other additional pieces, but doesn't seem to be missing any tiles I believe. It has 5 drawers with the bottom drawer being a press print load (broken) and the door slides down into the bottom.
If you could help me get an idea of what the value of this might be, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance from the community!
do to the hardware use to put it together I would say between 1815-1840 screws are half machined and handmade all the wood is hand carved no machine carving done
Fire screen, timber with brass plate image. Could anyone please help date and value this item, it took my fancy but I would like to know more about it, any help would be appreciated.
