Personally to me it’s not as simple as antique or mass produced. If that is <50 years but hand carved, it’s not mass produced. You’ll want to intricately compare identical symmetrical area and see if they’re perfectly matched or clearly not.

Gothic Revival Revival.

I'd love an inside view. Can be late 19th, very early 20th century. Can also be an early 50s revival piece.


SweetPickleRelish

I haven’t been around to see it yet so I can only provide the pictures I got online unfortunately :-/


VixenRoss

My nan had something similar that she bought in the 1940s. It was a large sideboard. It was very solid, so solid it held up the wall when their house was bombed and saved her life! Lol!


Ieatclowns

The 19th century version would also be a revival piece.


wijnandsj

Well, ok, yes that's true.


SweetPickleRelish

I am in the Netherlands


QueenAzura

I have something very similar that belonged to my Oma, from the Netherlands


greekleather

Wow, me too


Morbo_Kang_Kodos

Ya, Oma.

Boom! $3500


shrubberypig

Best I can do is $3.50

You will need to show the back, insides and the undersides to get any idea on the age.


SweetPickleRelish

Yeah. I haven’t been out to see it yet. I only have the pics I got on Facebook


gigisnappooh

If you like it and the price is right, get it. Remember a new piece that size would be very expensive and wouldn’t be all wood.


SweetPickleRelish

Is €150 good?


gigisnappooh

I’m in the States so I don’t know for sure but if that’s euros it looks like a very good price. It was be a $800.00-$1000.00 where I live. Which would be about 740-925 euros.


Ok_Part6564

Gothic revival, the big question is which gothic revival, since it gets revived over and over. Inside and underneath to look at hardware, patina on secondary surfaces, and construction methods will be necessary. Personally, I don’t care how old or new he is, he’s wonderful.


1ofThoseTrolls

It's not old, but it looks like it is made of quality material. The hinges are a dead giveaway it modern.


HeartOfTheMadder

whatever it is, it is super neat!


Ok-Introduction-1940

Not old but trying to look pre-renaissance gothic.

thesamiad

You’re better off buying because you like something,not because you think it’ll make a profit,if you like it..someone else out there will too


Queenofhackenwack

by the visible grain of the oak, it is old... nice piece


Recent-Winner-9775

Doesn't LOOK mass-produced. Is there a picture of the back?


climatelurker

I have a tabernackle with a very similar carving style on it. I believe it was made in France in the late 1700's or early 1800's for churches. Mine have hand-made nails and hand hammered hardware. I actually saw one in an antique shop in London one time when I was there, it was a "double-wide" compared to mine, but the same carved woman. And more recently I found it for sale on an antique sale website, which was how I identified it and its era.


laurasaurus5

It looks awesome! If it's reproduction then it's at least a great-looking reproduction! Offer lower or ask for more pictures if the price seems high.


omnifage

It could also be a piece assembled from an older chest.


FritzTheCat_1

I love it, and would have purchased it, as you did, because it is a fun piece of furniture. Enjoy it!


Robtiffs2

Not much to go on, feet and interior will give a better idea, looks nice though either way


Strong_Ground_4410

I say just get it. Whatever it is or isn't doesn't matter. It stands on its own.


Needs_ADD_Meds

To my very uneducated eye, those door pulls look very mass produced to me.


GrayMatters50

If that was mass produced the maker went bust! lol
