Appraisal Report
The appraisal value is based on the age, craftsmanship, and condition of the tansu cabinet. Japanese antique furniture, especially from the Meiji period, is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a premium price. The presence of a decorative element like the Buddha statue enhances the overall appeal and value of the display.
