I'm beginning to except that I might not see another just like it. I just wish I knew how to find out where it came from and what time era? I would love to know more about it.

Thank you so much for looking into this! Did you see this same one? If so where? That would tell me so much information about the one I have . I spent all day on Google searching, found many similar, but not this one .

Antique Questions Forum / Asian camphor Chest?

« on: November 13, 2012, 05:23:55 pm »

I have recently started cleaning out the storage room. Yikes! I had forgotten I had this. My mother had bought this chest in her early teens at a garage sale I believe. I am having a lot of trouble finding information on it. I have no knowledge of trunks at all. I believe it is an Asian camphor chest? I know it is old. There are no dates that I can find on the trunk. I would love to know a way to find out how old it is, where it might have come from,  and what the value might be. Online I have found camphor trunks valuing anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand. I guess if I was able to find out more about the trunk (date, Origin) that would be great!
