APPRAISER: It is a chest of drawers for a very large home. And a lot of times, these big houses with high ceilings, many different members of a family would live in the house, and so maybe a bachelor uncle had this, because you know what these drawers are for, these long drawers here.
GUEST: We were told they were for wine and alcohol.
APPRAISER: Absolutely. It was made out of several different woods. It would have been stained to look like mahogany except for these wonderful panels here, which are flame birch. I would say this was made around 1830. Have you ever had it appraised?
GUEST: Uh, just kind of in passing, and it was a long time ago.
APPRAISER: And what was that at?
GUEST: About $2,500.
APPRAISER: Well, today it's worth around $4,000 at auction only because it's so spectacular, unusual, and it has its original feet.
GUEST: Thank you.
