<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KCredrage, post: 295233, member: 5959&quot;]Hello kindred seekers of the “old &amp;/or curious”,</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; This is my first info seeking post and am still massaging the posting controls, so be kind, lol!&nbsp; My wife &amp; I just procured this (what we thought was awesome... simple, yet oddly unique) Quartersawn Tiger Oak Curio Cabinet.&nbsp; I’m pretty sure it’s antique, but furniture isn’t my specialty, (if I even have one, lol) so I am reaching out to the Antiquer Community for any info you can give me!&nbsp; Period, age, year, maker, etc....&nbsp; I can take any critique you have, (not shy to give my 2 cents) so fire away.</p><p>&nbsp; Dimensions: 71 1/2” high from solid wood caster wheels to the highest point above top shelf..</p><p>&nbsp; Top of main cabinet: 36 1/2” wide, 37” depth</p><p>&nbsp; Carved Crane Figure:&nbsp; 7 1/2” high</p><p>&nbsp; Each beveled mirror panel on top is 17” long</p><p>&nbsp; Front 3-toed paws are 9” from wheel to bottom of cabinet</p><p>&nbsp; Cabinet (not including legs or top shelf and beveled mirrors):&nbsp; 52” high, 36 1/2” wide</p><p>&nbsp; Front door:&nbsp; 47” X 15 1/2”</p><p>Might not have needed all these dims, but never hurts.&nbsp; If you need any more dims, just let me know?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; What I do know:&nbsp; Glass is definetly “old”.&nbsp; Wavy with a few very small runs.&nbsp; Person we got it from just got divorced and just didn’t want to store it.&nbsp; His parents purchased at an estate sale in Arizona 35 years ago.&nbsp; Top of cabinet has a few minor black spots from, I am assuming, water stains.&nbsp; The back wood has a 72 printed on it (?)&nbsp; I don’t see any wood shrinkage on the front or inside.&nbsp; Everywhere you can see from the front has been sealed (shellacked, etc..) but totally ends in back and underneath.&nbsp; There is wood shrinkage on unsealed wood back panels (non Tiger Oak) holding inside back and mirrors where wood has pulled away from nails.&nbsp; No square headed nails, but all screws are slotted, some not evenly across.&nbsp; </p><p>It looks to be well taken care of, but, like I said, I’m no expert.&nbsp; </p><p>Finally, we just really fell in love with it and ended up paying $250.00 and he delivered.</p><p>We would never part with it, just looking for experienced info on it!&nbsp; I will post photos, hopefully without any uploading errors!</p><p>For all that can give me any input, I am already very grateful!&nbsp; [ATTACH]95997[/ATTACH][ATTACH]95998[/ATTACH][ATTACH]95999[/ATTACH][ATTACH]96000[/ATTACH][ATTACH]96001[/ATTACH][ATTACH]96002[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
