Wood - China - 20th Century

For auction is a beautiful antique chest/box, whose origin I cannot describe in more detail. It could be that the origin lies in Chinese or indeed in Japanese. The era is also not known to me, as I am not professionally versed. The box is internally lined with fragments of old documents, which already look very, very old and, based on their drawings, reveal the Asian region. The metal applications and the carrying handles, hinges, and the locking mechanism are also wonderful. It is all made of a decorative metal alloy with fine ornaments. The mechanical functionality is also guaranteed. Since it is an attic find, this is an auction from private hands without pursuing a commercial purpose. Thus the legal propriety for private sales applies. Thank you.
