Hi Christina,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This is a later reproduction of a form that was very popular throughout France but also other parts of Europe in the late 18th and early 19th Century; I can tell from the construction detailing on this that it is not nearly that old - second half of the 20th Century (1950s on) at best.
That said, these still attract interest from collectors because they are both useful and decorative; most sell at auction for around $500.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage French provincial style walnut armoire
