<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9726879, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i just found this at a local Goodwill here in Sacramento. i walked by it a couple of times, not really noticing it. Then on the third pass, it started to call out to me. i thought it was some fake piece made to look old, but as i began examining it more closely i realized this is a real, completely hand-made little table. it stands about 30 inches in height. all of the artwork on the separate top is hand-painted and there's no screws to be found in the construction. what is really amazing is the craquelure and wear to the piece. the panel on which the painted art is located looks like it could be VERY old, but i'm really not certain. it looks like it has had several coats of lacquer applied to the top as well as the sides of the top tray. i'm hoping someone here has some background in antique Asian furniture. there were a lot of Chinese people in this area in the 19th century, of course. i'm guessing it's a piece of home made furniture that's made from, perhaps, older pieces. but i know nothing. any help, or insights will be greatly appreciated...thanks</p><p>[ATTACH=full]472685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472693[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
