Description

ANTIQUE CHINESE FISHERMAN'S BAMBOO with CHINOISERIE PAINTING
LUNCH BOX  c.1700-1800s
Extremely rare and very, very old. I bought this 30 years ago from a designers show room, which housed only the finest items, such as Baker Furniture and Fine Antiques. I was told it was centuries old. I paid 9.00 at the time and saved the sales tag, as you can see in the photos. Excellent condition for something so old as this is. It has four stackable compartments; one has a crack, as shown in photo.
I bought this as a thing of beauty and also as an investment. I am sure it has appreciated greatly over the 30 years that I've owned it. I have seen some others, similar to this one, over the years and they were sold for ,500 and up. I have always gotten so many compliments on it. It's a real conversation piece, that is for sure.
