These are the remnants of an antique chinese apocethary cabinet. The script on the rice paper would have denoated where a particular item was in the medical chest and possibly what it was for. If it were complete, in good condition, it would be worth about $400-1000 depending on size. With just the two front doors.. really no value aside from what someone might give for them.
