<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AGGGILLI, post: 380753, member: 7769&quot;]So my wife and I picked this piece up at a little antique store in NC in May, and I finally got it to our new house in IL this past weekend. I fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it, and was floored by all of the intricate inlays. At first I thought it was painted on, but on closer inspection I could see that every piece is inlay. I&#039;m not usually into Asian stuff, but I found this piece very intriguing. I have no Idea if it is worth anything, but I gave $300 for it. </p><p>The place I bought it from, the old guy said he bought out a complete house of things from a rich old woman who travels around the world picking up unique pieces. He had a very wide variety of items and apparently two other of these chests with inlays but each piece was different. One had just people, one had just animals and the last had the people with animals. The other two were already gone when I got there. He told me the other two went for $500 each, but I got him down to $300 because of some sun damage on the top and separation on the back. Anyway I wanted to share it with you all and see if anyone is familiar with this sort of thing. Sorry about the rotated photos. I&#039;m not sure what happened to them.[ATTACH=full]131510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131512[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131514[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131515[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131516[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131517[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131510[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]131510[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]131511[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
