PLEASE HELP



I just became the owner of this antique vanity, which I got from a friend who flips storage units and discovered a whole collection of antiques recently. (This unit was flipped in Dallas, Texas.) She had a friend familiar with antiques look at it and this enthusiast believes it was made by Upham Furniture Co. I don't see any tags or stamps indicating that anywhere on the piece, so I'm curious how I can go about learning as much as possible about this vanity. It is the first piece of furniture I've ever felt emotionally connected to, and it's staying with me whether it's worth ten bucks or ten thousand. However, I would love to know it's story, and determine if it's rare, how old it is, and whether it is better to refinish/restore it or leave it be with all its age and imperfections. I don't want to do anything to devalue it. Any expertise you have or any direction you could give me regarding how I could research it further is highly appreciated.
