Re: Oriental black lacquer liquor cabinet

Hello,

I saw a similar bar cabinet on Etsy with an asking price of $543. These were made in the 1960s in Taiwan. Some have inlay like yours, others are only painted and some have only a relief carving in a single tone. Usually, the bottom panel drops down and has a mirror on it to be used as a table for pouring drinks. Does yours have this feature? I am looking to buy one if the shipping is less than $200. I'm interested in buying yours if you would like to sell it. Please let me know. Thanks!
