Hi! I'm new here I stumbled upon this forum while looking for info about my pieces. I know a little bit about my first piece it's a large oriental ebony lacquer breakfront with mother of pearl inlay. I bought it at an auction in Virginia about 4 or 5 years ago. I haven't been able to find any information about it's value. I've Google it and have found pieces that were similar in style, but nothing this large.
It appears to be 50 to 60 years old (but I'm not an expert). It's actually two separate pieces, a base and top. The only markings on it is a large number six on the back of the top section.
These are the measurements:
Height- 79"
Length- 88"
Base width- 19"
Top width- 15"
My second piece I really don't know anything about, I bought it at the same auction as the above piece. It seems very old in appearance. It's made of a very dark wood that seems to be very dry from age. It has dovetail joints on the drawers, and pegs for hinges on the doors.
I'm considering selling both of these pieces, so I'm trying to find a little more info on them and their value. I have more pictures that I can email as well.
Any information or ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated!!!
