Accurate Description of Item
Antique Chinese Cabinet
Appraiser Remarks
There are very strict rules regarding what Antiques can be exported from China, by law it requires special permits, so most of the furniture we see seldom predates the late 19th Century. To get around such restrictions some of it actually hand made from recycled lumber and artificially aged or completely refurbished/altered from badly damaged originals. This piece appears to be a late 19th Century example.
Estimated Value
$800.00- $1200.00
