[quote]In need of some assistance evaluating this piece and determining the proper era. I’ve included details pertaining to the cabinet, based off prior knowledge of the piece. I am a new member of Kovels and have a multitude of Antiques, generationally bestowed to me, that require appraisal. Thank you to everyone in advance.[/quote]

Your description does not tell the style and without being able to see it no way to help !! Age does not indicate value !! No matter the age it has to be an item people would want to buy !! Please post pics to this site also post a pic of the joinery if it has drawers !! The dovetails can help establish when made !!
I am not sure you understood that this site is informational !! I have never known them to provide appraisals !! This is a public forum and no one from Kovels is here !! Just volunteers like me and a few others who have some knowledge !! Now furniture has been my area of study for the last 40 years so we can give you an idea of what the item would bring in todays market !! The Kovels price guide is years out of date !!
