It was acquired from an estate sale 40 years ago by my grandmother, and wonderfully cared for. It is stored in acid-free paper. I believe that it was made in the later part of Qing (Ch'ing) Dynasty. It is in wonderful antique, wearable condition with a few loose threads. Silk loop closures are loose and must be replaced. The lining is in very good condition with some very light stains.
