Title: WHAT is this BEAUTIFUL Antique?!
Post by: bsbfan95 on July 24, 2008, 12:56:24 AM

I inherited this, what in the world is it - and how much is it worth!
It has stickers on the inside that say "CHINA #36"... written in pencil.

Actually this looks more Korean judging by the ornate hardware, though these are found in China as well. Should be a reproduction. I have seen them around a few times in my travels. Hard to say more without much larger photos.

#1  How big is this?  This appears to be sitting on a large blue patterned rug?  #2 Are there any stickers? (What appears to be the back side has a square sticker?)  If so, could you please post a pic of this.  On inside of chest trying to figure out the small square (above the two rounds).  Is this metal or sticker?
They used to have "tea chests" that were ornate and luxurious in Korea that were a main part of their sparse furniture.
