*ANTIQUE 17th 18th? JAPANNED ~ASIAN DRESSING TABLE- unfolds, w/ mirror -GORGEOUS

Description

If you would like to view this piece in person before buying, just shoot me a note. This beautiful piece was brought back from Japan, right before WW ll,  from an American nanny that was working there. The piece had been in the family forever but they let her choose 1 piece to bring home.They called it a wedding chest and, since they had no girls to pass it down to, they let her have it. I have no idea how old it is, only that it is very, very old. If I had to guess, I'd say late 1700's, early 1800's. There are a lot of chips of the "japanned"  edges. Some of the pictures make  the chips look A LOT lighter than it actually looks in person. The flash must do that.  I had an estimate of apx. 0 to repair the chips. To get to the mirror, you open the top 2 pieces that then rest on the side "arms" that fold out, then you lift up the next piece.  It has 4 drawers. These can sell for a  lot more at other auction houses. It stands apx. 35" high, 24" wide, 16 3/4" deep. Fully open it is 43 1/2 wide. The mirror is 16" x 10 1/2".  Local pick up only [Portland, Or. area]. I occasionally go up to the Seattle area, and we might be able to arrange a delivery.  Please feel free to ask any questions. I will offer a refund if you are not happy. Please check out my other items -thanks!
