Hi Mark, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. I've discovered something nearly identical to your chest on Chairish, which is a retail website so the (primary market) values are quite a bit higher than the auction (secondary market) values Mearto appraises at. (https://www.chairish.com/product/2035949/antique-japanese-five-drawer-copper-lined-hibachi-c1870) Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A Japanese oak or elm copper lined hibachi late 19th Century The rectangular chest inset with a copper bin over which a piece of framed glass is set, the case fitted with a stack of three short drawers, the lower part fitted with two short drawers. 13 inches high, 27 inches wide, 15 inches deep CONDITION: appears to be in good condition with some wear commensurate to age and use. $400-600* *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.
