The Union Furniture Company was formed in 1939 from the National Furniture Company. The Nord family has run the company since 1891. The Union National company produced high end quality hardwood furniture for many celebrities including Wayne Newton, Lucille Ball, Jerry Lewis and William Holden. The company closed in May of 1994, still under the Nord's control. Union National did indeed make fine furniture in Jamestown, NY. They were acquired by Wall St. financier, Webb Turner in an attempt to create a furniture dynasty in the late seventies or early eighties. He acquired several furniture manufacturers, including Union National, State of Newburg, Deville, Burlington Furniture Industries and a few others.
You have a sideboard by Union National Furniture Company, Federal Style, I think circa 1940-1950. It's a part of a dining room suite made by Union National Furniture Company. I found a very similar one from a nine-piece dining room suite, but from a flame-grain veneer www.prices4antiques.com/
I found a Mahogany Sideboard made by Union National Inc.

First of all it really depends on what it means to you. If this is a family heirloom then you know the value, it's so subjective. If you want to sell it; and want top dollar, I suggest you contact a local estate sales agent.
It appears to be mahogany. You may find out a price from this site:
