what age you think

Here are some photos, how old do you think this may be.

I honestly have no idea. I am sorry. It looks European to me and is very crudely carved. It resembles some Italian pieces I have seen but the crude carving is not typical. Hopefully someone else will nail this down.  it appears to be very old or made to look very old. Nice bar though. I will have an Absolut on the rocks with a twist.

Can you tell or post a better pic of the handles, Please?

Also originally i thought the handles were some kind of inlay, but later noticed a small chip and saw it was wood. The handles appear to be all carved wood.

OMG love it !! The handles look like raccoons to me    Gonna need to pull out the books to see if I can find anything!!!  Hopefully someone here will find some info!!  Great piece!!

Would be a total guess on my part but I would say German or that area, late 1800`s !! But it certainly is not of the quality I would expect !! Unless pics are just not showing well !!

Fairly accurate pics mart. Appears to be handmade. Not sure by who but better than i could do,lol. Thats what makes me think its pretty old. Like you mentioned around the 1800's

German black forest is a good educated guess, Mart, but, like you implied, the Germans were usually very good carvers as in cuckoo clocks. It looks like walnut.   I really like it whatever it is. I have had a couple pieces with same edge carving but I did not know what those were either.

Geez, you had me going back and digging out pics of my sideboard that is still waiting for my attention (other than dismantling, it's been totally neglected)

They almost look like they could be distant relatives

Very nice piece, this stuff is really enjoyable.

Most all the items posted here are lessons in world history !!  And learning about them is fascinating !!  I am wondering if this piece is the top portion of a cupboard !! Many from Germany and that area were massive pieces of furniture !! I have seen the same type tops to them with a drawer and doors on the bottom cabinet !!
