I recommend contacting a professional antique dealer
I might not be correct but I am guessing the late 1960's into the 1970's. Could be older because of the fret work on glass, but the picture isn't clear enough to make out wood type. I am guessing cherry or walnut.
Your curios were manufactured in April of 1985. The manufacturing date (4-85) and the style number 768-759-2 is stamped on the back. The Tai-Ming collection was produced by Drexel Furniture in Drexel North Carolina and was made (I think I remember this correctly) from cherry solids with decorative olive ash veneers on some door/drawer fronts/tops (no olive ash on curios though). I think this collection was produced from the early 80's to 1986. Drexel and Heritage were two "sister" manufacturing companies with Heritage being the higher quality, hence, higher priced line (not sure if there is as much distinction in the 2 lines now). Some digging on the internet will find pieces of the Tai-Ming collection to use for value. Value is hard to figure depending on item condition, demand, style trends, and location.
They are on Ebay for about $400 no need for special insurance.
You are very welcome. I've seen these curio cabinets in many houses,they are lovely, if you have the space.
