Johnchip on Apr 27, 2016Likely china cabinet from the 20's-30's. Florida is filled with this kind of now 'thrift store' antiques furniture inherited and brought down in the 60-80's by the northern retiree's surge. Everyone wants 'new'. modern and light once in Florida so this stuff is 'firesale' value.Helpful Reply

Colleen on Apr 27, 2016She can take good quality photographs of all the pieces (looks like there is another interesting one beside the cabinet) and show them around to antique dealers for more information. Examining the pieces closely will reveal more details to take note of, as well. There are pages on the internet that describe elements to look for.Helpful Reply

Elaine on Apr 27, 2016I'm FAR from an expert on antiques but it appears (to me) to be an English piece - the feet resemble a lion's paws and lions feature in many British items such as flags, shields, family crests and so on. I can't determine its depth (from the photograph) so assume it's a curio cabinet; if it's really shallow in depth, it might have also been used for books. For its value, take good photographs and visit some reputable dealers - especially if intending to sell it.Helpful Reply

Bill Galovich on Apr 27, 2016My initial impression is a Chippendale china cabinet. That's based on the grille work on the doors and the ball-and-claw feet which are closely associated with Chippendale design elements on case pieces. I'm just a bit thrown off by the finials on the top front trim piece because they suggest Queen Anne. It may be a bit of a design hybrid, but I'll basically stick with Chippendale.Helpful Reply

Judy on Apr 27, 2016Chippendale. I had one like this without the finials. I had the table that matched and it had two sets of legs with three legs on each side. We also had the buffet that matched. My aunt bought the set in 1937. It is still in use at a friend's house.Helpful Reply

Phil a on Apr 27, 2016Don't know the manufacturer... maybe a stamp somewhere in the cabinet. It's not a typical china hutch since there is no drawer / cabinet storage for linens, place mats and such. It is most likely a curio cabinet, for displaying similar items like crystal pieces, dolls, figurines and such. The glass with diamond wood pattern is very "Chippendale" and the wood style and feet are typical "Queen Anne". Very nice piece, though. If you want to know for sure what it is and what it's worth, call one of the Antique Furniture Appraisers in your area. Harrison Appraisals is in downtown Westminster for your convenience. http://www.harrisonappraisals.com/ for more info. Let us know what you find out.Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on Apr 29, 2016This is one of those pieces that might be worth just cleaning it with Old English oil. Remember, lots of retired people moved to Florida over the past few decades and some of hose pieces came from the NE where there are some very valuable pieces. Those 13 panes of glass in each door represent the 13 original colonies. It could be valuable, or it could just be old. Either way, it is stunning as it is. I love everything about it...from the color to the minute details.Helpful Reply

DebS on Apr 29, 2016I have the matching writing desk with hutch. It belonged to my mother in law, we aquired it when she passed. It has the same feet, finials, and glass wood decorations! It's a beautiful piece. I would love to have the matching cabinet.Helpful Reply
