Just curious about the green coloration on the inside of the cabinet. Is it fabric? It looks velveteen, but maybe it's a wash-type paint? The cabinet is beautiful!
It looks around 1910 Edwardian which used a lot of the inlays on the better pieces, similar to a cabinet I once owned, a beauty. Back then and into the 1920's Baker company and similar companies were offering a lot of the Federal style furniture revived style for sale and made some nice pieces.
@ Momofanskh The fabric was a green velvet and yes it was beautiful...@ phildavidalexandermorris Thanks for the additional info unfortunately I got outbid on this piece so it couldnt come home with me ;(((
