    This looks homemade to me but I could easily be wrong(guessing). No marking anywhere except the numder “22” hand written on the bottom of the chest and every draw, and “22 F” on a few draws. Top is doweled and not hidden at all. Really just kind of hoping someone might be able to date the hardware to give me an idea when some guy was to cheap to buy his wife a professionally handcrafted jewelry chest even though it would seem from the size of this, she must have had a lot of jewelry to put into it ;) :) :) :) haha

    As always, I appreciate anyone’s input.

    First impression is that it looks Chinese, and may be quite contemporary.

    Chinese import and, from bright blue velvet lining, unlikely to be very old.

    Very nice box, I agree, Chinese and not very old.
    Probably made in the year of the rooster;):
