Would do the wood before reupholstering so you don't get refinishing products on new upholstery.
Agree that this is a furniture top fragment.
Agree with Jeff - Single board seat supports a 19th century date.
Sadly, not a lot of value these days despite the nice condition.
Basically agree with Johnny on this. More pictures might support an earlier date but doubt this is any earlier than the 20s.
I don't see a marriage. Would have no problem with an 1850s or so date with this if it were American. Not sure how this translates across the...
I have seen this basket. There is variation in color but it seems pretty random. I can't tell if it is purposeful or natural. Thanks much....

Think probably 50s and Continental in origin.
Likely fairly new when brought over. Looks to be Edwardian to my eyes.
I thought about tea caddy but thought it might need to seal tighter than this appears to. A lot of conjecture here. Really need the OP to come...
In general, a secretary is less desirable than a sideboard. Seems tall large pieces are out right now. Mahogany is less desirable than blond...
Pretty sure Japanese silverplate. Size? Looks like it could be an odd form cigarette box.
Agree that refinished pieces often look too new. Howard's is an oil based product that goes on pretty thin. Multiple coats will eventually get a...
Looks like a typical 40s mahogany piece but could be as early as the 20s. Basing this on the hardware I can see in the last pic. Looks like the...
From what I can see, the veneer is raised in multiple places throughout the top. Consequently, it will be very tedious to try and repair this....
Separate names with a comma.
