Any statements regarding authenticity are expressions of opinion only and should not be relied upon as fact. Independent professional authentication is strongly recommended before any purchase, sale, or valuation decision.
Appraisal values are estimates only and may vary significantly based on condition, provenance, market demand, and additional information not available at the time of review.

Re: China Cabinet
I believe the style of your china cabinet is what was referred to as Mediterraian and was popular in the 1960's-early 70's. Whether you should sell it or not depends on whether you think it's worth your effort or whether you'd rather donate it and take the tax deduction. You might be able to sell it for around $200, depending on where you live. It's not a very popular style right now, so I'm inclined to think you couldn't ask much more than that. A consignment shop probably would put that kind of price on it and keep about 40% if it sold. Good luck. Hope this helps a little. Making a decision about items that include family memories isn't always easy.
Re: China Cabinet
Thank you for the feedback. Not exactly what I was looking forward to hearing but I started realizing it wasn't some timeless piece when I tried describing it for this post. I am open to a second opinion if only so I don't make a big mistake. (already made HUGE consolations on a '55 Chevy that was in worse shape than I thought) Thanks again.
