    Hello there, in over my head a bit. I've recently acquired a rosewood China hutch... and I simply cannot find any info on it, other then finding "new" versions of it. I'll get actual pictures of it soon to show it off a little better. But will include a picture I found on the Web of what I guess are remakes?

    From what I was told from the vietnam vet I acquired this from, is that he had it shipped over along with a table and chair set after his tour was over in vietnam.

    The differences from the new and the piece I have is the hardware , such as the one I have has options to lock the bottom doors and glass top cabinets , I don't see this in the pieces I've found online... The hinges aren't 2 flat pieces with a pin.. Instead they are what appears to be pins setting into grooves both top and bottom. It is lit, with moveable "gold" in color very thin metal.

    I'll get pictures of the actual piece in the morning.. I'm just trying to move it as little as possible ..

    Edit: forgot to mention it is a flower/bird design. Roughly 5 foot wide by 6 foot tall. And weighs probably 300 lbs or more...

    Hi Rydaokie! Just laying down the welcome mat for you.

    Lovely cabinet and that's all I can say about it.

    Others in the know will offer their qualified opinions.

    I also had duty in SEA (Southeast Asia) during the Vietnamese Conflict, and took R&R in Hong Kong where case furniture of all kinds was available and could be shipped to the US inexpensively. The hutches, bar cabinets, etc were made to customer order in teak or rosewood, primarily. These pieces were very well-made, our rosewood bar cabinet cost $150 plus maybe $30 shipping in 1972.
