Description

Hi Everyone!

I am interested in finding out the value of this antique chinese trunk. I bought it at an auction so I know very little other than the owner believed it was from the late 1800's and was some sort of wedding or dowry trunk. There is a lot of chinese characters on the trunk and there was some sort of old chinese receipt stuffed in the corner of the trunk when I bought it. It's very large and heavy- dimensions are - L=58.3", W=24.5, H=23.3". Any help you can provide me would be wonderful!!
