If anyone would have any idea about these pieces I would really appreciate it. There is a China cabinet, a chest of drawers, and a buffet.

    Mass produced 1920s-1930s. Not worth much Im afraid . The dresser might be a little earlier.

    Before this year, brown wooden furniture was cheap and there was plenty of it to go around. The prices are starting to elevate, and it's getting more difficult to acquire. If you have the room to store (and hopefully use) these pieces, they will be worth much more in the future. Welcome to Antiquers, Mike :cat:

    Don't dismiss any of the things in the china cabinet. Check them out, get IDs before you get rid of them. Some of that stuff might be good.;):joyful: I see a giraffe collection too.

    Might push the dates to 30s-40s on the buffet and china. Agree that the chest of drawers is a bit earlier.... 20s. Value is really dependent on where and how selling. As a private person, selling in my semi-rural Midwest location, you would be very lucky to get $100.00 per piece. You might do better in or near a large city or coastal location.

    Definitely, I am going with Laura on this one.

    Although I know ZERO about it, Mom's knick-knacks could well be much more valuable than the furniture.

    Wood furniture seems to be coming back but it will be a while before it's worth real money. The 1930s pieces are what gets called "waterfall" style and have a following. Sometimes. The stuff in the china hutch might be the real money.
