Accurate Description of Item
Antique China hutch/Curio cabinet
Appraiser Remarks
Based on what I can see in the images, this is what's called a "Married Piece", meaning it has been constructed out of more than one piece of Antique furniture married together. This used to occur when a Dealer had pieces that had been damaged, for example the legs cut short on a parlor table by a former owner to convert it to a coffee table and a parlor table with a missing or badly damaged top. The Dealer would have a cabinetmaker make one good piece out of the two by putting the good top on the uncut base.
In the case of this piece the legs appear not to be origin to the piece and the mirrors are also an addition. Values for pieces like this tend to be modest especially if they require repairs.
