Looks like what was left of a late Victorian/early Edwardian Curio Cabinet after the base was cut off, This was sometimes done to make them into a hanging wall cabinet. As an altered piece it's vale would be greatly diminished, We'd retail it as an altered wall cabinet for about $450.00

Thank you for your reply!

It looks like it had feet on the bottom, and it seems like it would be WAY too large (and heavy) to hang on a wall.

Do you have a picture of the type you are speaking of? It would be interesting to see.

It's been in this configuration in the 43 years I have been alive, my Mother, Grandmother and Great grandmother have all passed, so I cannot get any further history, unfortunately.

Thanks, again!
