Antique Handle Door

Antique Handle Door

I have inherited an antique china cabinet/hutch?


Drawer handles stamped 1855
a number 3 inscribed on bottom edge of door
has a metal in the drawer with Empire LTD; Rockford, Illinois
Made of mahogany or cherry
Any ideas about this company and the piece's value. Its in excellent shape.

I have googled the company name. All I can find is that it was still in business in 1920.

here is a photo link:

I'm still looking, but having found this...

and following the link given there to Rockford Illinois, and looking over the pieces the folks there are showing and asking about, I'm inclined to think that what you have is prettty 'high end' and valuable... so don't sell!!!... at least not until you get good solid confirmation of it's value... this is one for Antiques Roadshow!....

look here...

http://uantique.com/china_cabinets.htm

they sell cheaper than others that I've seen.... most are going for one thousand to two thousand that are even close to yours.... the thing is, I can't get a time period to match.... the 1855's aren't even close.. that's Federal brass... dentil at the top (is there a pediment up there, too?), gothic arches and lovely wood figures... almost a composite of several periods???......

I have a feeling only someone really well versed in Illinois furniture will be able to tell you much about it.....
