Hi Kathy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I can't tell from the photos if the seat is hinged and lifts to reveal a compartment - it won't change the value but should be included regardless.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A provincial George III joined oak curved cupboard and settle or "bacon settle"
Regional English or Wales, first half 18th Century
Of curved section with paneled sides and back opening at the rear to reveal shelves, rounded (hinged lift-top) seat, all on a box base.
78 inches high, 62 inches wide, 36 inches deep
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition with wear commensurate to age and use. Back shelving is later; repair and possible replacement to hinge; lacking lock
PROVENANCE: inherited
CAD$ 3,000-5,000*
