Can you please show the insides--with close ups to the joining and hardware and offer any history on it you know? Like how long you have had it? What is the back made of? Are there any markings?

There are so many reproductions of old pieces that are made to look old that without more info it will be impossible to give you any information of value.

Looking forward to learning more! Thanks for sharing!

Normally the manufacture marking can be found on the inside, back, or bottom of the chest. In order to start searching it is best to know who has made this. This gives us a starting point and makes it easier to identify the company. If you are having issues finding this information it is best to seek the help of an antique furniture dealer in your area.

They have the knowledge and have the experience to help identify this piece. Without more information, it makes it even hard to try and find out who has made this and the value of the piece.

Can anyone tell me about this chest? I know it needs repaired. About how much would it cost to repair it and how much is it worth as it is now and how much would it be worth after it's repaired? Anything else you could tell me would be greatly appreciated. Like the year was made? What type of chest it is? Thank You
