This is a piece of the finest furniture ever made. It has survived several moves, but it's time to let it go. It was refinished in 1998 and still looks new.

History
My grandfather was a furniture buyer for high end stores, this item passed down through three generations.
If it's marked "Drexel Heritage" it can't date from the 1940's. The two companies operated as separate divisions until 1974, when Drexel Enterprises and Heritage Furniture Company became Drexel Heritage. Even if it is a Heritage piece it's value would not be that much greater at auction.

My grandfather bought this as a Heritage around 1940, so I don't think it's post 1974.
