While I try to give you the best accurate assessment of every item, all jewelry listed is antique or vintage and is NOT expected to be like new. All items should be expected to have light to moderate wear on all components and findings, even if it can't be seen with the naked eye.  All jewelry listed is inspected very carefully by me, a certified antique and vintage jewelry appraiser, and is considered to be in very clean and well cared for vintage condition and reflected in the price of the item.  As I am currently selling off my 50-year lifelong jewelry and other antique collections, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.  I've been selling antique and vintage jewelry and other wares online since 1986 from my own site. My jewelry has been featured in many antique and vintage jewelry books. I have collaborated on the publication of several vintage costume jewelry books as well. I also serve as an authority as a jewelry appraiser on several high-end auction sites.  Inspection at different assessment levels and under different lighting and magnification can be difficult to assess, describe, and grade. For this reason, I provide many clear photos and my best assessment of gentle handling, wear, or other imperfections. I also do not guarantee the future functionality of all antique and vintage clips, hooks, clasps, and closures. All are tested prior to shipping and in good working order.  Description ~  Made in the 1940-1950 era, this very ornate 3 nesting set of round bamboo lidded baskets are works of exemplary craftsmanship. This is a VERY rare set to find. Nesting boxes of this quality that are around 70-80 years old are very hard to find today. The baskets are a triple layered designs with swirl patterns at the centers of the lids. The caning is a dark cinnamon shade with some black trim on the lids. This set was not made in China. It was made in the Philippines, and it was not a mass-produced export. It was brought to the US from a US marine who served in the south pacific during the Korean War. The quality of these bamboo baskets far exceeds anything that was ever made in China. This 3-piece set is in pristine clean like new condition with no imperfections or flaws and has never been used. The largest box is very slightly a lighter, less glossy shade as it is the only box that has been exposed to light. The baskets are not signed. The largest box is about 7" wide x 5" tall. The medium box is about 5" wide x 3 1/2" tall. The smallest box is about 4" wide x 2 3/4" tall. As the baskets are handmade. Please note that the lids only go on one way by matching the bands on the lid to the bands on the bottoms. Yes, there are bands on the bamboo that show you how to line up the lid to the bottom to match the way the canes were wrapped. An interesting pre-planned design! Condition: Used.
