Antique China Cabinet Curio Cupboard Curved Glass with bear claw feet and mirror. No markings or print found anywhere. Circa early 1900's per my Mother. Great shape.
Your Bow front cabinet does date from the turn of the 19th Century and is in what's referred to as "Empire Revival style", the style getting its name from the fact these pieces are designed to resemble Empire styled pieces made during the first third of the 19th Century.
The original Empire style tended to make heavy use of mahogany and mahogany veneers, "C" and "S" curves, heavy legs and carved paw or claw feet. The Revival pieces like this one were often constructed of oak, finished in a honey brown we now generically refer to as "Golden Oak. In the current market comparable oak bow fronts have a replacement value in the $800.00- $1200.00 range.
Re: Antique China cabinet
Wondering what this could possible be worth. Is there a range of value?
Thanks much!
