Oak Gothic Toby/Tobey China CabinetHere's a great Gothic Revival china cabinet/closet attributed to Charles Toby/Tobey, a Chicago furniture maker that survived the panic of 1857, the three-year depression that followed, and the 1871 Chicago fire.

Bidding starts at $4,125 and expected range is $12,500 to $17,500.

Dimensions: 68" H x 59" W x 20" D Age: C. 1880 Material: Oak
