The Chops were stored underneath the removable tray which was used to place the documents on to be sealed. Three interior black drawers and concealed compartment below bottom drawer. Rich dark elmwood interior. Makes a wonderful jewelry box or other box for smaller items as well as a wonderful accent piece. The finish is in wonderful condition and appears as a hand rubbed instead of a bright lacquered finish. Brass decorative latch and side handles and drop pulls,all original. Measures 17H X 17L X 12D.Price if far below what was paid an extreme value as last piece of oriental anything will ever handle as so many reproductions out there and this is not!Great Value.
