Dear William,

These are Zhou Dynasty style.
The photos are too small to say anything else except, so many. Almost too good to be real.

If you could provide a better photos of the area I circled in red, maybe I could tell you more.

cheers,
Pierre

Dear William,

These are modern Chinese writing, not at all close from the BC period.
First pic says something about " furniture"
second says something about " government "

All those pieces are newly made, not antiques.
If you are thinking to buy, don't . If you did, get your money back.
