Who made this cabinet?
#11
One thing my in-laws discovered with some of their furniture from this era, that they thought was real wood, was that the doors were actually plastic over wood. And the tops were veneered. They tired to refinish it and were very surprised. I am not saying yours isn't real...just might want to tap it with something and see if it sounds wooden.
Personally I think you could get $75-100 in our area since it is compact.

It is a lovely piece and quite possibly could have been a custom made sewing cabinet. I am thinking it was made in the sixties seventies too by the hardware and style of cabinet.
If it is a custom the price would be much more because it is a one of a kind made by a craftsman who was very talented.

I believe yours is what they call a buffet sewing cabinet. Here is a link to a picture and it looks similar to yours. Hope the link works don't always get that right.

Look on the back side or on the bottom or even on the bottom side of the top there should be a manufacture stamp or seal marking. When you find this you can go from there on looking up all the other detail on it.
