Hi Michelle,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique Chinese black lacquered and japanned elm cabinet
late 19th/early 20th Century
Of square form and rectangular section, the cabinet inclosing three false (I can't tell if that's a drawer, I don't see pulls) short drawers over a pair of hinged cupboard doors (can't tell if there are shelves inside), over three short drawers all on a box base. Paneled sides,
37 inches high by 37 inches wide by 23 inches deep
CONDITION: with wear and losses to japanning but otherwise appears to be in generally good antique condition with wear commensurate to age and use.
PROVENANCE: inherited
$600-900*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.

Michelle,
I'm just seeing your emails (I'm on the West Coast of the US, so your emails came in while I was asleep).
I still need to see a clear photo that shows the chest in its entirety for enough of a distance away that I can get a sense of the scale. To give you an idea of the kind of photos I need to see, please check out this link (https://mearto.com/specialist/items/korean-chest-2xk).
I'll do your appraisal as soon as possible after seeing a clear overall photo.
Thanks,
Delia
