It is like a golden in color. Has 4 doors on top. with glass shelves. curtains in the doors. On the  bottom of 1 side it has 3 drawers. other side it has 2 shelves,, It has a light on top. It is stamped with Century Furniture of Distinction.... Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.. Thank you.

Found this little blurb on them in regards to someone's query about their pieces on another site..........

"although these are nice and well built pieces they are not antique nor collectible.  The company started in 1948 which makes them new in my world.  Judging from the construction shown in the photos sent and the finish i would say these are most likely 1970s.  judging accurately between the 60-70-80s is difficult."

My grandpa has same type of cupboard, rather than at up side only three doors and drawer section in middle. I dont know what exactly called it but tell you soon. This type of old fashioned cabinets are rare to found.

This piece/style was very popular in the VERY late 60's to early 70's....yours most likely from early 70's.  French in style.  China cabinet/breakfront.
