Antique Corner Cabinet
How can I obtain a value on Antique Oriental Furniture? I have a black lacquer item w/ genuine ivory inlay.?
This was handed down by my grandmother, who was wealthy and purchased it in NYC in the 1940’s or 50’s. It has beautiful scenery(ivory) of women and children in a garden and on a shore fishing, with further detail handpainted in gold. The top opens and has more detail, then another surface that also opens to both left and right. Front cabinets, side cabinets, and corner cabinets to hold stemware. The handles are carved into the wood, and scallop shell shaped..
I do live in a small, southern town. I wouldn’t consider any of the local “appraisal” people here knowledgeable enough to evaluate this item accurately. Short of the “Antiques Roadshow”, are there any sources you might recommend? Online, perhaps? I may be interested in selling this bar, as it does not fit into my decor.
Hi. Here are websites that help to identify and date Antique Asian Furniture. http://www.mqfurniture.com/identification.htm
http://www.consumer-manual.com/english/home-appliances/furniture-collecting.htm
Here are sites which sell buffet cabinets similar to what you describe, http://www.chinese-antique-furniture.net/chinese-furniture-catalogue/tsmallcabinetp01.html

You can also try sending a photograph to any of the major auction houses, Christies, Sothebys, Doyles, Bonhams…most have an Asian Arts division. They will evaluate it based on a possible consignment. You can submit your photo and info online.
hope I’ve helped a bit!
