<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4382139, member: 5066"]Well, first impression is first half 19th-century one-piece walnut corner cupboard although can't tell much with the photos provided. Many are fuzzy and too small, can't tell if the fluted quarter columns are cut by hand or machine. The molding below the crown is dentil molding? again, can't tell with the pics here. What about the nails, what kind are they? The lack of any period glass hurts the value for sure, are the hinges replaced? looks like surface-mounted hinges originally and the 2 center backboards, look like a different species than yellow pine and, they shouldn't be. Seems to be yellow pine secondary which suggests mid-Atlantic or southern origin.</p><p>Where did you get it?</p><p>Generally speaking, values on antique brown furniture aren't great at the moment.
