it's made of a light brown wood and mirror. has brass button like screws holding pieces of mirror together that have been cut in a puzzle like way. i am curious to find some history and origin on this. also a value if possible.
Please see the attached photo's to determine whether this piece of art has any value and whether I should proceed with an appraisal. I believe this may be a portrait of Washington Irving being sworn into office.

We found this and have no idea of its worth or exact age. I know it is missing the top layer of keys, but any information would be helpful. I am pretty sure it was made after 1916 due to the A=435 on the middle key. I cannot locate the model number on the lowest key. Please help guide me in the right directon. I am intersted in possibly selling this item for a decent price.
