Description from the seller
Exquisite Antique Mahjong Set - 5-Drawer Wooden Box - Classic Chinese Style
Elegant and complete Mahjong game set, presented in a refined solid dark wood box in an intense brown color (rosewood). The case features a five-drawer structure, designed to neatly contain the tiles. The top is equipped with a sturdy double handle in worked brass, typical of traditional Chinese style, which facilitates transport.
The removable front panel features the Chinese characters '雅玩' (Yǎ Wán), which can be translated as 'Elegant Pleasure' or 'Refined Pastime', underscoring the object's cultural and playful value.
Set consisting of 150 bone-and-bamboo tiles, finely carved and hand-colored with the classic motifs of dragons, winds, flowers, and the seasons.

The item is in excellent overall condition. The wood retains its original shine with minimal signs of wear due to age, which enhance its vintage charm, only a few very small paint spots that are easy to clean. The tiles are well preserved, with sharp engravings and vivid colors.
The tiles in the sealed plastic show traces of preservation dust consistent with their age and only need cleaning; please look at all the attached photos.
