Hi Robert,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This Midcentury Modern teakwood or walnut wall unit might have been made by Heywood Wakefield (formed in 1897 from a merger of Heywood Brothers (1826) and Wakefield Company (1855)); the company initially specialized in wicker and rattan furniture and, in the Midcentury modern era, often incorporated woven grass panels alongside solid hardwood panels. Heywood Wakefield *did* usually sign their pieces so if this isn't signed, stamped, labeled or otherwise marked it's probably not by them but similar unattributed Midcentury Modern wall units of comparable size and age usually sell for between $700 and $1,000 at auction (signed pieces typically bring more)
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage Midcentury Modern walnut or teakwood wall cabinet
