Thank all of you for the advice. Since I paid $80 for the piece I should make a buck or two!

Gotcha... But who knows if the person I bought it from was right in the fact it came from England? No disrespect Jacon4, but that's why I put it on here was to find out the origin, era, and value.

Thanks. I think the total was $419 and some change. That charge is if they can appraise for more than their charge. If they value it less than that, she said they would just charge $250 for coming out....lol I really appreciate everyone's advice and comments. I am taking it all in and hope to learn more throughout the process

I bought this piece yesterday and was told by the lady that I bought it from that it was over 200 years old. It belonged to her Grandmother who was from Rhode Island and the piece itself was from England. I bought it with the intentions of redoing it, possibly painting, and then realized I may have something that shouldn't be messed with. I contact an appraiser in the Dallas Area where I live and was told that it would be over $400 for them to come out and appraise it. She asked a few questions regarding specifics.

It is missing one know. She did not have it.
Has marble top which appears to be original.
No new hardware in or out.
Claw feet are solid wood with no brass.
3 Dovetails on each drawer and none of them symmetrical.
Measures 41 1/8 In Wide; 38 In Tall (including marble); 19 Inches Deep
All of the legs are intact and not broken
No markings anywhere inside or out


Please let me know what you think... Where its from? When? Value?

Thank you for the help!
