Information on China Cabinet?

An antique china cabinet.Hello. I recently inherited this cabinet. I was told it's from the late 1800s. The curved glass was replaced but the front pane is original (which is wavy if you look from an angle). As with others, I can't find any markings on the piece. The finish looks original too. If anyone wants to comment about possible history that'd be great!

Gorgeous!! Lion serpents and amazing wood..tiger oak cut/mill style, probably US made...although it would need to be seen in person to look at joiners and how it is assembled. Outside chance it was Italian..they used a lot of serpents in their furniture, but Italian is usually more ornate. Yowsa!! Having a mirror is unusual for a curio! It appears to be late 1800s/early 1900s. If you are asking for value, I would get a reputable auction house to handle this for you. This is such a fine and detailed piece that if it is truly as old as it appears and the high quality it appears it could fetch a lot in the right setting! Post back if you learn more!! Very cool!!

It looks like you have received a lot of older furniture that is not marked which makes it very hard to identify. I am going to give you the same advice I gave you before. I would seek help from an antique shop in your area.

They will need to take a look at this to determine the age, wood, and region it is from. With images it is so hard to do this and to give a price on this would be even harder.
