Beautiful, high-quality, large antique 19th-century Chinese shagreen hard case.
Made of a wooden base, this piece features a natural green stingray exterior with bronze Fu and Shou character embellishment.
The bronze fittings have acquired a nice dark patina. This piece separates in the centre to expose the interior.
Good general condition for age on the outside, age-related wear and repair to the inside, see photos
