This belonged to my dads grandmother who was given it as a wedding present,my dad said it was second hand when it was given to her. we brought it over to nz when we moved here,so it think it would be english. Any help would be good finding out how old it is and where it was made,and maybe a value?? thanks

By the design on the top..and front..i,d say earlier that the 30,s...more like Art -Deco....20,s

I'd stick with the first guess....1930s. Walnut. In the U.S. I'd guess its worth to be about $200-$300.

Nice piece. Unusual!

$200 seems cheap to me, but your prices are unbelievable! Since I love walnut/rosewood/mahogany/oak, I should clearly be on the "auld sod," picking up bargains left and right.

Instead I'm stuck in the middle of the U.S., where these woods still command some $. Stupid hemispheres!

I agree with 30ish date,, there are some stickers of some sort on back !!  What are they ??  Price here in my state likely under $200.  You can find these English cabinets everywhere !! I have a similarly styled English cabinet !!

It's that period anyway, isn't it ? Late 20's / 30's. And £25 would be doing well.

Okay, another question.  Are there any glass shelves?  Can you tell if there were shelves/or is there evidence of shelves at some point?

This is a very beautiful piece.  Don't see this style carving on many pieces.  Would sell for $200 - $275 MY NECK-O-THE-WOODS.

Would also like to inquire as to what the stickers are.

Brown furniture isn't selling here on the left side of Canada either.  At auction they aren't getting anymore than $60 & that one looks like it's not had some love for a while.  Would agree with the 20's-30's date.

Kit dose have shelves but I'm not sure if they are glass? It's just secetape on he back from damage in transport.

I think KC and Wull are right on target with this. The market in the UK has always been lower on this style, and even older pieces, than here. Before shipping got so expensive containers of late 19th and early 20th century furniture were arriving here frequently from the UK and sold at auctions in the South. The southerners had a liking for dark wood especially if it was carved.
Brown furniture? Now there's a term I never heard before.
I would expect to get around 100.00 for this piece in its present condition in the NY metro area..
