      Wow! This is a wonderful piece! Welcome on CW :-)

      If you already got an appraisal, you got some answers...

      I can tell it is actually ivory from the Schreger's lines that can be seen on pic#2!

      We don't give values on CW, you may try to contact a reputable auction house!

      Thank you Kyratango for the kind words,
      Do you know who or what appraiser might know the markings, age, date,etc.?
      I am not well versed in antiques and don't know where to start...

      I'm French from France, so don't know American serious auction houses...
      Anyway, you can try Christie's, Bonham or Sotheby's free online forms on their site :-)
