Antique Wooden Black Decorated Table Top Jewelry Chest Double Side Handles 6 Drawers
Product Description: Possibly once used in the earlier days as a table top vanity chest in the Asian culture to conceal jewelry or other treasures, this wooden chest still bears its original metal side and front handles. An unusual piece which appears to be handcrafted and once covered with an earlier worn lacquered or painted surface. Although this one provides the appearance of an ordinary box when closed, when the front door pulls down it reveals six drawers for storage. These drawers are made of a soft wood with gold painted decoration on the front with metal, dangling handles.
