Hi Framm,
Can you show me photos of the drawer interiors, sides and bottoms, and also insides of the cabinets? I'm hoping to be able to tell age, which isn't as immediately obvious from images of the drawer fronts.
There shouldn't be a limit to the number of photos you can post but if you have any problems, send them as email attachments to [email protected].
Thanks,
Delia
Hi Delia,
I submitted more photos of the drawers and sliding drawers, as well as the top of the cabinet. Thank you!
Framm,
Thanks for the additional photos. It looks like late 19th Century to me and I've appraised it accordingly - if you think it should be earlier or later please let me know since you have the benefit of being in front of it and experience with Chinese Export objects.
Thanks again for using Mearto and have a great evening.
