I have its sibling!!!!! It's a standard kitchen cabinet tarted up with some curvy Art Noveau-ish rounded moldings on the doors to be trendy and stylish. Mine is oak, with the same moldings on the doors and bottom, same rosette at the lock, but mine has two rows of drawers (two small, one full width) between the doors. Your door pulls are not original. Mine had no pulls and no marks where a pull would have been. They may have had "push-open" catches. Mine also has old glass in it - the slightly wavery stuff with the tiny occasional stretched-out bubbles. That is NOT hand blown, it's the kind of mass-produced glass they made by pulling a sheet of glass up out of a cauldron of molten glass. Your cabinet doesn't look like oak - it could be walnut, poplar, butternut, or any of the other common wood species. Mine was identified by the seller, a knowledgeable dealer, as from 1900-1910 - apparently the way the panels of the doors are rounded had a short life because of the machinery it took to make it, and because the Art Noveau trend died out. I forget what I paid for mine, but it's a well-made vintage cabinet with rather nice wood. Here is a link that might be useful:

A appraiser that you will find in a search means nothing. Just that they are either "in the business of selling antiques" and have paid their licensing fee, or have taken a required course of study. Someone who really knows high end Federal mahagony furniture and Chinese import porcelain, may not be qualified to value your fine English silver or your oak china cabinet....It is worth only what someone will pay. And never EVER have anything appraised by someone who charges based on the value of what they are appraising. They should charge a flat hourly fee. If you sell outright to a dealer, you can expect the price he will offer to be less than half of the selling price that dealer expects to get. If you sell in a consignment shop...every shop will have a different set of "rules". Some may pick up for you...some may not. Some may have a limit of 3 months before they charge you a fee and say get it out of here or sell it for the best offer. Some may have you sign over the piece to them when you consign it and agree to give you 40% of the selling price. Some mau charge 30% comission some more or less. Some may allow you to set the price, others want to set the price themselves and I know one who does it either way. You will get the best price by selling it yourself through an ad. You will find out what it's worth by searching for others similar have sold for...NOT what someone is asking for it. Look at completed sales on ebay and look at local auction houses. A Dealer won't ask you for an appraisal. A good dealer will know what they can sell it for. And please realize that there are 2 kinds of appraisals...one for insurance purposes....that is what you might have to pay retail to replace it tomorrow. And the other type is an appraisal for sale....that is what you might hope to get for it tomorrow by selling to a dealer. How do you find a dealer? I am sure in Atlanta or Marietta or another suburb, there are many many antiques shops....and areas where you will find many shope within the area. Take a picture of your cabinet and wander the shops and show the pictures and ask. Take it to someone who deals in similar types of things. Hope this helps a little. Linda C

"I have been told it is at least 200 yrs old" By whom? And why do they make that claim? What I am seeing is a 1960s or later china cabinet done in the "French Provincial" style or maybe "Mediterranean" ... and painted gold in an attempt to make it look better. My criteria: the flat scalloped framing around the glass, the same flat framing effect of the doors surrounding the oddly Mediterranean faux Spanish things on the doors, and the realistic rose band of carving ... it's an accumulation of unrelated design elements that no amount of gold paint can make very valuable. If it's well-made and still sturdy ... I'd give $50 at a thrift store for the storage aspect of it.

Sammie the candle would work in the middle if the table. the base is metal bird bath which was too pretty to put outside. the other end of the room is my lr waiting fir 2 chairs and an area rug - possibly a small fireplace I think a plant of dome kind would soften that end - something with low light. the ideas are glowing My grandmithers dishes I also have these 2 pictures anove matching buffet in fr or this platter if pictures id think about black and white of2 grand daughters
