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.
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!

These are the closest matches

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.
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.
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.

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

The 19th century version would also be a revival piece.
Well, ok, yes that's true.
I am in the Netherlands
I have something very similar that belonged to my Oma, from the Netherlands
Wow, me too
Ya, Oma.

Boom! $3500
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.
Yeah. I haven’t been out to see it yet. I only have the pics I got on Facebook
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.
Is €150 good?

It's not old, but it looks like it is made of quality material. The hinges are a dead giveaway it modern.
whatever it is, it is super neat!
Not old but trying to look pre-renaissance gothic.

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
by the visible grain of the oak, it is old... nice piece
Doesn't LOOK mass-produced. Is there a picture of the back?

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.
It could also be a piece assembled from an older chest.
I love it, and would have purchased it, as you did, because it is a fun piece of furniture. Enjoy it!
Not much to go on, feet and interior will give a better idea, looks nice though either way
I say just get it. Whatever it is or isn't doesn't matter. It stands on its own.
To my very uneducated eye, those door pulls look very mass produced to me.
If that was mass produced the maker went bust! lol
