Help me identify and value this Asian Style Liquor Cabinet.

I have this wooden liquor cabinet that, according to family history, came from Korea by way of a great uncle returning from the war. He gave it to his sister, my great aunt, who kept it till her death where as it went to my mother and then to me. I know it was in our family from at least the mid 70's as I remember seeing it at my great aunt's.

I would eventually like to sell it and while I do not think it is an 'antique' per se, I think it has some value.

There is not a 'mark' on it anywhere I would imagine it would be. It is in very good condition, IMO. My great aunt used it to server from as did my mother and myself. It has carved door panels and two separate images carved in the side panels, one above the other. The back is plain.

None of the wood is split, the joints are solid and the hinges are tight and solid. There is no fancy joinery, mostly fastened with screws and nails.

This picture is not so great but I plan to borrow a better camera today.

Any help identifying and/or valuing or otherwise pointing me someplace to do so will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Matt
