The wooden pulls would place it in the later part of the Golden Oak period. It is made in the style of Gustav Stickley's Arts & Crafts furniture of the time. If it does not have a Stickley label, it was made in the Mid West, perhaps Grand Rapids. If it is a signed Stickly piece, well congrats, it could be worth thousands.
A beautiful oak example of the Arts & Crafts Movement, from about 1890 upward to 1920 or so. This has the Gustav Stickley look. Have you checked for markings?
Not sure if Gus in the right Stickley brother here. I think it looks more like a Stickley Bros./Quaint piece if it is. Many makers accomplished this look. The figuring in the oak is nice and it is a nice sideboard for sure
The only markings I can find so far is #803 written in Pencil on rt front leg inside of cabinet. There is also 00 stamp into tops of doors and 5 stamped into rt rear leg.
I just found an example of your piece in ANTIQUE & EUROPEAN FURNITURE GUIDE.

PRICE estimate in 1995- 990.00. Of course, we both know price is pretty much a regional issue.
Good luck and what a great piece.
Awesome piece! I hope you're going to remove it from your storage area and place it somewhere in your home for all to enjoy!
