17th antique

17th century Antique Chinese cabinet, in red lacquer. This is a tall cabinet in the classic Chinese style. It has secret compartments and is in exceptionally good condition, having been oiled reguarly. It is made of camphor wood. This piece would fetch over R if taken abroad to any First World country. I am prepared to accept R for it but not a cent less.

Beautiful timeless classic piece that will enhance the look of any classy home. Please note that is a genuine antique and will only increase in value over time.
