Rare early 19th century Chinese lacquer ladies work box.sewing box. DIMENSIONS = 38 Cm long, Cm 27 wide x 16cm in height. A truly nice box, which displays well. There is some loss and fading to the decoration (e.g on the top), and there are minor knocks and chips to the box (age related) no attempted restoration. Clean working condition. Has fitted tray s and lids inside top, some internal fretted decorated panels for sewing accesories(long gone) and also has working lower slide out dr...awer. Includes the key that I found in it & though it does not turn it appears the same period so maybe just the lock needs a little working(I do not want attempt this as I do not restore or repair in any way so can't be sure for definite if it is the right key) it has its little brass handles to each side. This is a lovely working, decorative and versatile box.Please ask all questions prior to purchase to avoid any disappointments for either of us. Will be will wrapped.
