[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 1344695, member: 136"]Hi, Daniele, and welcome! We had a discussion on here about a "fancier" - and older - Ebert curved curio cabinet a while back: [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/eberts-china-closet.24943/[/URL] Yours is not as old as the one shown there. Ebert opened its Red Lion factory in 1917, so it likely can't be older than that. Also, is the curved glass missing on the right hand side? It rather looks that way in your photos(?) If so, I'd say you might as well refinish as you please, as replacing that glass undoubtedly would cost far more than the piece is worth. I saw a few "similar" pieces online...
