I would visit reputable antique dealers to see what they say. There are tons of items on both eBay and etsy, but asking price and selling price are two different things. Drexel states on their site that they do not provide value and one should seek professional assistance.
How to find manufacture date for Drexel furniture?
The Tai Ming collection began manufacture in 1982. Based on the stamp on the back of your piece, I'd guess it was made in 1985.
I think it is a burgundy stain over pecan wood.

It was made in April of '85...hence the 4-85.
Drexel is highly sought after, and currently there are Drexel Tai Ming armoires and curios on Ebay for $700-2000. Of course, there is a difference between asking price and selling price, for a true picture have it appraised. The numbers on the back will help you in your search.
Call some local furniture dealers in your area.... it depends on demand and availability in your area.
