[help] Identifying a piece of furniture

calendula_witch's mother has a china cabinet that has passed down through several generations of the family. The origin of this piece is completely unknown at this point. It is perhaps a century old. We're hoping that someone among you can help identify the provenance, or give us clues as to what to look for by way of maker's marks, etc. Given the success of you guys in identifying such things as china patterns and German bridges for me, I'm hoping we can score a hit here, too.

Any thoughts?
