Do a litle investigatory work yourself. Pull open drawers and look under them and behind them. Look under chairs and on the back of the side board. You are looking for a maker's mark or manufacturer's name. Most of the time there is an indication of who made the furniture.

Once you determine who made the furniture, determine whether they are still in business or if they were bought out. You can do this by going on to comprehensive furniture websites, like furniture find or calling around to furniture stores in your area. You can also use the furniture sites to determine the style of the furniture, is does it have Queen Anne or Empire style legs?

If the furniture is antique, you can do the same thing by checking sites like Kovel's to discover more about the furniture. Then you can match the wood tone, decide whether you want the china cabinet to be in a coordinating or the exact same style. There are many companies making reproductions and you will probably find a company manufacturing new a similar style. If you decide to locate an original piece by that manufacturer, that can be done too. Check with dealers in vintage or antique furniture in your area, check E-bay and other auction sites or hire an interior designer to find one for you.
