Description

Hi!  I'm trying to determine what's the value of this piece of furniture.  I believe it belonged to my great, great aunt who was a school teacher in Tennessee in the late 1800's-early 1900's.  It was stored in an old family home in the attic until my parents got it out.  I know they did some work to it, but I think it was pretty much just clean up.  They got the furniture out of storage in the early 1970's and used it until my father's death in 2005.  Since then, it's traveled from one storage space to another, finally ending up in my garage.  It's a beautiful piece, with no small amount of sentimental value, but I already have enough furniture, and I have nowhere to put this.  It's heavy and solid!  Part of the weigt comes from the marble used for the tops.

Other than what I've said, I don't know much about it.  There is some damage on the lower drawer front, and the wooden backing for the mirror is loose at the bottom.  The mirror isn't loose, just the backing.  The pulls are original, I think.

I appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Thanks in advance!
