Chinese tea table hand carved and painted

By ALPickers444, 27 October, 2012
Description

All I know about this piece was that it was bought in hawaii in the early 80's for $1800.00

We were told that it was made by a famous asian craftsman, but we do not know his name.  We cannot find a signature, but we don't know where to look for it.

I have been searching the web, but have not found one that was hand painted like this one.

It has a small crack on the left side and two scratches on the right, and it appears that someone tried unsuccessfully to fix it.  Other than those it is really good condition.

Some of the figures were carved and placed inside, while others appear to be part of the original wood.  We bought it at an estate sale because it was so unique looking.

 

We are interested in selling it, but are not sure what it's worth.  Anyone have any ideas?
