Hard carved Chinese camphor chest

Hi, my name is Matthew I love to scrounge through thrift stores and yard sales for antiques! I recently came across this trunk and was wondering if someone could help me identify if it’s antique or a knock off. Here is all I know... it’s definitely camphor wood (slightly stinky) around the rim it appears that tacks were used to attached the top to the rim underneath. 24”x12”x12” Can someone please help? .... also can someone help me it’s saying the pictures I’ve taken with my phone is too big to upload.

 

Email the photos to yourself and choose medium before sending.
Save the photos from the email and use those to upload.

 

You can also resize the photos by right clicking them in Windows File Explorer on your computer.

 

Ok so here she is. Any idea would be much appreciated!

 

Thank you!!!

 

Hello and welcome.
Now that you have the picture uploaded.
Go to edit, click full image. That way people on phones will be able to see your pictures.

Sorry can't help with your box

 

While still a good find with some age, the quality of the carving suggest this is not antique. Maybe from the 50s or 60s. Hard to tell on these things since they were made the same way over decades.

 

Does anybody have any idea what the holes on the lid are. To me they appear to be possibly nail holes where the lid was attached to the rim.

 

Formerly attached brass or stone decorations? The Chinese often used them.

 

Any idea on how much I should try to get for it?
