I have no idea and wouldn't even guess without seeing it. 1070s isn't antique, but sometimes folk craft stuff has value. If there is something that is very specific to Romanian furniture there might be a niche market with Romanian immigrants.
Scratches affect value but how much it affects value depends upon the piece of furniture and on the location of the scratch.
This week at auction, a MCM walnut side table made in Yugoslavia sold for $80.
It was a nice clean attractive MCM design and looked like it had been both loved and well used, so not in mint condition but not damaged either. Nice wood and a three part cloverleaf top on it.
It was on the small side and the smaller tables usually being the best prices. It was one of those little tables you would set next to your arm chair to set your reading lamp on.
Auction just south of Portland Oregon and prices vary immensely around the country, depending upon what is in style where you live.
There is some Czech glassware in this week's auction. I will try to remember to post prices for you, OP. Some of it is awfully nice stuff, so I might bid on some of it myself.
There were two "Victorian Lustre" vases which are tall glass vases with crystal prisms hanging all around the rims. One green sold for $70 and a red one brought $120. They had small white disks with painted flowers or portraits. Lots and lots of craftsmanship.
A vase brought $180, colored glass with small white disks (milk glass?) with painted flowers on the disks. I bid on that one but had no idea it would go so high.
An ugly amber glass decanter sold for $100
6 small hand painted plates sold for $100. Bright and colorful, but I'm not quite sure what they would be used for.
I didn't notice any "iron curtain" countries listed as origins on any of the furniture.
You know... picture would be helpful. Also define: "furniture from the soviet union. It was made in romania".
lol. Knowing the state of Soviet "craftsmanship" in the 70's ("Soviet craftsmanship"--there's an oxymoron for you!), I imagine it means, that Romanian-made furniture exported to Russia was of better quality. The simple fact that the Op mentioned it was of cherry wood raises tentative hopes of better manufacturing quality, as well as a pleasing aesthetic.
