For that price I would expect it to be refinished. Looks like it would need quite a bit of work before I'd want my cigars anywhere near it.

Crazy price but I bet they did research and its probably actually worth the asking price I would assume.

Would never use it but for anything other than show.... But What A Conversation Piece You Know!

My thoughts exactly!

I sold an Amish dining set tonight...I've got some money set aside. I'm considering putting in a (much lower) offer.

Absolutely gorgeous.
Oddly, as pretty as it is, it's not a handmade/heirloom item. It's the period equivalent of a chinese cheapo.
It's still gorgeous, nonetheless. People from the Victorian era really had a taste for craftsmanship and truly appreciated the trades. I think people would appreciate it as much today if the cost of labor didn't push handcrafted perfection out of reach of most everyone.
