    This piece is over 60 years old - My grandmother had it when she was a child. It's also got 2 glass shelves that go inside - But I have no idea exactly where it is from/how old and if it's worth anything. It's EXTREMELY heavy and is over 2.2 meters tall.

    Please can someone assist :) Thank you

    Some sort of Eastern import. India, China, Indonesia. Interior form and construction is very similar to an armoire I had from China. Exterior is quite different. Don't believe it to be antique.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome, @Andrew Bouffe !

    As for age, you know it's from at least the late 1950s. Where did your grandmother live as a child? (What country, I mean.)

    It looks like a piece my Aunt & Uncle had. They purchased it at Pier 1 Imports back in the late 60's when Pier 1 had unusual items and not at all like the things they sell today. Back then, I think they imported from places like India, Philippines, Mexico and Bali.
