Re: Huanghuali or Not?m |
Posted By: Kenneth Donnelly Posted Date: May 07, 2019 (07:30 PM) |
Message Thank you. Guess I am a bit surprised that Hawaiian Koa wood used in Singapore (where I bought it) almost 20 years ago, but possible. I researched Koa wood and yes while not huanghuali it is quite expensive and to have that much of it to make a cabinet this size not so usual? I have this and other Asian art cabinets and chest, e.g. a large 3 piece stacking camphor wood chest and wanted to sell one or two pieces. I focused on this chest as one of the finer pieces that might get a decent price. I knew it clearly wasn't an antique, paid on order $1,500 as noted almost 20 year ago, supposed $2,000 or a bit higher at Chinese arts dealer warehouse with good reputation before shipping it back, might be reasonable but now uncertain. Appreciate not a valuation but any thoughts on likely sales value range of this chest? Post a Response |
