Would imagine the backing is faux.
Side-by-side secretary/china cabinet (or bookcase) and agree with Ghopper on date.
Think it has some age to it. At least pre-WWII and maybe as early as 1910.
I'd go even a tad earlier. Circa 1900, up to WWI. Golden oak period.
Doesn't look like a Knapp joint. Just pegged with dowels.
Looks like a later piece with Formica top. Can't be worth too much.
Thanks much to everyone. Looks like the attribution is good. The one with the station entrance has the same French language photo-copy as mine....
Recently picked up this drawing on ebay. Attributed to Joseph Milner but not entirely sure about the attribution since the signature looks more...

I use a tung oil finish. You can buy it prepared or make your own (equal parts tung oil, oil based varnish, and mineral spirits). Apply thinly...
Agree with a turn of the century date. Don't see bookcase but, rather, a kitchen piece. Maybe a pie safe that has had the tins replaced with...
Late 20th century. Maybe late 70s - 80s.
Typical personal storage or immigrants trunk circa 1850. Wood looks to be pine. Not enough details on this to determine origin. Molding at the...

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, most of us here are not well versed in MCM design. Might take awhile for someone to come along that is. In...
LOL! Serves me right for not checking.
Don't know what is worth it to you. The piece shown would bring about $150.00 at retail in my semi-rural Midwest location. Could be worth more...
Second pic is the signature......
Yep, someone would love to have this and pay a bit for it. Not so much collectible as desirable (People probably don't usually collect multiples...
Think this could be a bit older than the 30s. Probably teens. Could be a red aniline dye. They are alcohol soluble but almost impossible to get...
Separate names with a comma.
