    This one doesn't have veneer, the sides and top are solid. All the decorative work is on interior surfaces.

    If it were mine I would send info to Sotheby's at the following link and see if they respond. You are under no obligation to sell it and if they have an auction estimate of $5000.00 or more they are supposed to respond to you. I do indeed believe you have a valuable item and you should have it properly insured. If you do hear from them please update us and let us know. http://www.sothebys.com/en/auction-estimates.html

    I would be astonished if it turned out to be that valuable. Just for curiosity's sake, though, I might give it a try. Thanks for the information!

    This is correct, Ditto Christie's , will do the same. They both have a 5k limit for a single object to keep the riff raff down. I'd send photos, description to both, they have a link on their website for them to look at objects they can sell.
