Times 400. When my grandmother died my mother got her sideboard. It still had its mirror and the matching china cabinet. The side cupboard was opened by a locksmith (standard skeleton key did not work because the lock was broken but we did not want to damage the door or lock.) Turned out the original silver serving set with the matching serving tray was in there!
My mother and her sisters sold the entire set in New York and got something like $4,000 for it. But it was beautiful and had the whole set..... And good what's it called when you can prove when and where something was made???

providence ( not sure on spelling ) meaning you know and can prove the history of a piece
Or maybe you mean the makers mark on the bottom of the piece?

The word you were looking for is "provenance".
