These tables were " Made for

These tables were " Made for Export" pieces, most were brought home by tourists or service men stationed in South East Asia. Most were made in China, the earliest ones dating back to the turn of the 19th Century, but in a more traditional form of table. They've never really been out of production, and values vary depending on the quality of the carving. Pieces in this same form can be found as trunks, screens or incorporated into other forms of furniture. Value wise, $200.00 for the three.
