Description

This is a (as it has been described to me anyway) rolled tiger oak bowed glass (all original glass) china cabinet.  Has five shelves, structurally perfect, just very dusty in the picture.  Have the key too.  Can't seem to find one exactly like it online or anywhere, but many that are similar and said to be from the late 1800s early 1900s?  Would like more info on it.  It is in my husbands  late grandmother's home and we are trying to decide whether to keep or sell it and if we choose the latter how much we should ask for it.  I know it is worth a decent amount, but I have been given a couple answers locally and they are quite far apart in their appraisals.
