[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3000511, member: 2844"]It is a typical 19th century cabinet made in Mechelen in Belgium. The style is Historic Revival, which is really a combination of several styles. Here in the Low Countries these aren't worth much either. A great pity, considering the work that went into them, but people can't even give them away. As you can see there is a big difference between your cabinet and the 17th century one. The only similarity is the use of oak.
