Hi Bea
Nice to hear from you.
This sounds like a lovely piece, but unfortunately I can give you no help in this area.
I would think that because of its small size it would be worth something.
Do you have access to a library?
Please try that route first. There will be books dealing with these things. Just ask the librarian.
In the mean time I will do a bit of surfing and post a followup if I can find anything.
Kindest Regards
Eileen

Expertise
I can answer most questions about the repairing and refinishing of all your old furniture items (the things we call antiques). I can also give you advice on what wood items to choose and what wood items to avoid at auctions, flea markets etc. I DO NOT give appraisals on antiques as this is not my field of expertise.
Experience
I have been repairing, refinishing and of course buying old furniture for the past 30 years. On any given weekend I can be found at auction sales or flea markets searching out a good buy. I have taken several courses in this area over the years, but I find "Hands On" learning to be the best teacher. I can help you avoid the pitfalls and problems of this wonderful rewarding craft.
