Appraisal results are generated using automated systems, including artificial intelligence, and are based solely on the information and images submitted by the user, along with publicly available data. As such, results may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or errors.
InstAppraisal does not authenticate items. No determination of authenticity, origin, materials, maker, or age should be considered verified. Many items—particularly luxury goods, watches, jewelry, coins, art, and designer products—are frequently counterfeited and may closely resemble genuine examples. Authenticity cannot be confirmed from images alone.
Any statements regarding authenticity are expressions of opinion only and should not be relied upon as fact. Independent professional authentication is strongly recommended before any purchase, sale, or valuation decision.
Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.
Appraisals must not be relied upon for insurance, legal, tax, estate, or financial purposes without independent professional verification.

Re: Antique cedar chest
Looking for manufacture and approx. value. The cedar chest has no markings on it
Re: Antique cedar chest
Short of finding a catalog with a matching picture to yours, finding out a maker or any history without some sort of company marking will be difficult. These chests were mass produced items and very popular after world War one (1918), there were a few big name makers such as Lane and Ed Roos, but virtually every furniture maker in North American made them during the 1920's to 30's. Unless in excellent condition we rarely sell one for more than $250.00 these days, comparable examples at auction often sell for about $75.00.
