Turn of the century ornate cabinet or credenza

By harleyman1122, 10 June, 2013
Description

This cabinet/credenza was passed on to me upon my father's death in 2001, and, although I know he paid nearly a thousand dollars for it back in 1986-87 at an estate auction, I'm not sure what its value is now.  I really would like to get a value for it ASAP in order to sell it for a decent price.  The cabinet opens from the center outward, and, has an incredible amount of ornate carvings on it from top to bottom, and, has some hand painted figures on the front of both doors and in the center.  The center drawing is what appears to be a lion raised up on its hind legs on a shield. It almost has the appearance of a crest of some sort.  I've had a couple of people with some knowledge look at it, but, cannot seem to get anything close to an "expert" appraisal for it.  I need to move this so if anyone can HELP, please do!
