Dresser HELP

Hi
Could somebody help me with this dresser and tell me what it is and what it could be worth
I think it has had a little refurb on the drawer

Thank you

 

More and larger pictures please(click full image), close ups of the sides of the drawers, hardware, back and everything else.

 

It looks swedish to me but, pic is very small & tough to see any details.

 

I hope these photos help
Thanks

 

Well, i don't think it's a dresser, more like a display or dining room cupboard. Where are you & where did you get the cupboard?

 

I'm in Nottinghamshire
It was left to me by mother

 

It's not a dresser, but rather an aesthetic movement etagere ca. 1880-90, designed for display. Very nice, but the wood appears to have been refinished, which doesn't help the value.

 

It would have been beautiful in it's original state.
It looks like quality, and those Japonaiserie panels are gorgeous. They look out of place after the 'treatment' the display cabinet got.

 

Oh dear, that's to bad, it does look almost "new".

 

And restoring the wood would probably be very labour intensive and time consuming.
Would the mirror doors have been in the top and the painted panels in the bottom?

 

Does anybody have an idea of it's worth?

 

Not a clue here as it's out of my field of interests but, ghopper or brad as well as others probably can.

 

My guess is that the wood was originally ebonized, i.e. stained black. Since it no longer has its original finish, in the U.S. midwest it would probably only bring $300-$400 in these days of the Antique Depression. 15 years ago, with its original finish, it would have brought several thousand $.
