Accurate Description of Item
Asian Wooden Hand Painted Box
Appraiser Remarks
Oriental style boxes like this were imported from both China and Japan both before (1920's) and after ( 1945+) World War Two. While not mass produced in the modern sense of the term they were made in very large numbers as music boxes, cosmetic cases and jewel boxes. Values for them vary depending on size and condition. You got a good buy with yours, we'd retail one for about three times what you paid for yours.
Estimated Value
$65.00- $95.00
