Pieces like this date from the first quarter of the 20th century, they appear older than they are because the style is patterned after Victorian examples. Values vale depending on condition and quality of the interior fittings. Quite a number of these are actually converted radio cabinets. At auction these sell for about $150.00 Lovejoy
