It is very difficult to tell very much about furniture from pictures.
It appears that you have two different pieces; maybe a sideboard/buffet and a hutch.
From just pictures, it is difficult to tell if this is 'original' or reproduction which would be years apart in manufacture.

information:
"there is no functional difference between a sideboard and a buffet, and the terms have come to be used interchangeably. If you're going to be strict about it, sideboards have short legs, and buffets have longer legs. Sideboards also often have cabinets that reach down to the floor, and may even have no legs at all."

I believe the style is from the Jacobean area as I'm going mainly by the carved bulbous legs.
Not everyone will agree on the style but there are several members who have much more furniture knowledge so keep checking for additional answers.
Here are some 'examples' of this style:

There are sites that may be able to help you with more information. I like using Reddit as the members usually provide very detailed information.
You can post on any of their site dealing with furniture.

Your buffet looks like Antique c. 1920's Buffet www.marks4antiques.com/.../Antique-c-1920-s-Walnut-Buffet-17d20d

I think you have American Antique c. 1920's Colonial Revival China Cabinet and Buffet Server Cabinet

Colonial Revival is a style in furniture and architecture that imitated or freely interpreted American designs from the Pilgrim to Federal eras. Begun in the 1880s, it became the dominant style of the early 20th century. Essential elements of Colonial Revival furniture are traditional 18th-century motifs and shapes, but rendered more schematically with narrower and more slender proportions than 18th-century originals. For the manufacture of this furniture oak was used; or traditional high-style woods such as mahogany and walnut.

Inspect the entire pieces for a tag or marking of any sort. Such a marking or label may have been placed on the back, inside a drawer. It is very difficult to identify a manufacturer of antique furniture without a making or label.

The price depends not only on the condition of the furniture, but also on the demand in your area, since the delivery of such furniture is very expensive.

Look on the back, underneath the piece and in drawers for identifying markings.
