<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3829873, member: 5170"]Looks like an oak piece from the 1890s. The bottom half is a commode/dresser combo; the top half is a bookshelf. It appears that the entire thing has been refinished, my guess would be to cover up the fact that this is a hybrid piece; i.e. the top and bottom were not originally made together. As a piece from the 90s, the top probably had a crest. Are there holes on the top where dowels from the crest would have fit?</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless, you've got a unique piece. In my part of the Midwestern U.S. I'd expect to see it sell for $300-$400 at auction, maybe more in New England.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
