One drawer has a small chip on the top corner. Purchased a large collection of Russian lacquer boxes and eggs at an estate in Arizona. The daughter said her mother visited Russia numerous times and was very proud of her collection. She paid a LOT for these pieces, as many still had their original price tags.
