Anyone know anything about Japanese (maybe Chinese) furniture?

[Harry Bloomfield, Esq.]

A lady friend far from here (Edinburgh) has been bequeathed some what look to my eye, from photographs, to be Japanese items of furniture. Age and quality is unknown, but she wishes to dispose of them. I wouldn't want to see her items under sold, but how to proceed?

I assume the lady friend is in Edinburgh?

One of the main auction houses?

etc.

and Lyon and Turnbull have a Chinese speaking department.

Also search eBay, and try posting a search on Google images.

Thanks all, I have now managed to find someone able to assess them in Edinburgh and been told they are of Chinese origin and probably no more than around 50 years old.

If anyone on here might be interested in looking or perhaps making an offer for them, I can forward photographs. [e-mail]

Yes, they are located not far from Edinburgh.
