I don't have any info for you on this though I suspect Lovejoy will when he sees the listing.  I just wanted to commend you on the piece, it's wonderful!

It's not an oriiginal from what I can see, it's whats called 'Gothic Revival', most of these were made in Belgium before World War One, very few predate 1840. In the current market one like this would go at auction for about $2000.00
