Description
This is a chest hand carved on all four sides and top with glass over the carving on top. The chest has a small slatted 3 inch deep "tray" connected to the lid that lifts when you open it. The inside is lined with cedar and the outside I believe, is mahogany (very dark). It is stamped several places on the inside with an oval stamp that says Yuan Tai Factory and many oriental symbols. There is a closure that can be padlocked (with a thin-hasped lock) that has a design carved on it, as well. No clue as to the value. Should I have it formaly appraised and insured?
