Dear Danielle,
Your panels are made in Japan in second half 20th century. This is not an antique I'm afraid. Carp / fish decoration on lacquer panels are alway's nice. Those type of decorations are appealing to many people. So decorative value is good despite of the lack of age. I believe if these came to a specialized sale of auction you can expect a revenue around the estimate.
