Hi Mardene,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is an absolutely gorgeous stepback cabinet, all original as best as I can tell from the photos. The market for these pieces is usually hampered a bit by the sheer size - most people living in apartments don't have the space for this, and many people don't live in homes with formal dining rooms.
That said, similar ones that have come to auction in recent years have usually sold for between $3,000-5,000;
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
