    Any history of the George Zee furniture company in HK would be helpful. @verybrad 20200609_123957.jpg SmartSelect_20200609-141046_Gallery.jpg SmartSelect_20200609-141033_Gallery.jpg

    Odd. I had an alert for this but don't see my "name" anywhere.

    Anyway, the price on this coffee table shouldn't be too high. My guess for a date would be 1960s or 70s.

    From Kovells:

    "George Zee & Co. was in business in Hong Kong from the 1960s until 1997. The company used different metal tags to label its furniture. One of the tags lists the company as “Kiln Dried Art Carved Manufacturers.” The company made heavily carved teak and camphor wood furniture. Later, furniture made by other manufacturers was sold under the George Zee name. A George Zee heavily carved cocktail cabinet with lift top sold at auction for $500 a few months ago. Other cabinets have sold for only about $100. The quality and intricacy of the carving affect the price but an original metal name tag would give extra provenance and add to value."
