Glass cabinet
Display cabinet 60”H, 40”W, 15” D with 2 doors with glass in top half. Has a drawer at top, that when is shut blends in to look like a crown moulding at top. Made of solid oak ( even the back). The doors and drawer front are veneered with another wood possibly mahogany. The sides are solid oak, roughly 1/4” thick and inside of one they’re a couple of butterfly patches. There is a 3/8” inlaying around the doors and sides and some inlay in the door panel. There is dovetailing on the drawer which appears to be done by hand. The drawer bottom is solid oak and appears to have been shaved down by hand to fit in the drawer sides rabbit, it’s very uneven. The cabinet back is done the same way. The shelves are solid oak and are held up with a sawtooth support system which seems to be cut by hand. The veiw throuhg the glass is slightly distorted. The door has simple pin hinge mounted on top and bottom. Not in perfect condition, there several splits and nicks in it. More interested in age of it than its value.

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an edwardian era early 20th century cabinet, mahogany and maple veneered on oak, of elegant marquetry design so typical for this era. A few small restoration appear to be necessary. The estimate is based on similar items actually sold at auction.
There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to the item.
It might have been handcrafted by an older carpenter using traditional methods. The oval lockplate, the legs and the thin veneer all point to the early 20th century
Thanks for getting back, appreciate the information
Thanks for your appraisal, just was wondering about the way the drawer was made with handmade dovetails and solid oak bottom with hand champfered edges. Also the solid oak back. Thought that make it more 19th century.
