Antique wooden box

Category
Folk Art
Condition
Good
Long Description

This antique wooden box has no markings that I can find. It appears to be hand made & the handle looks to be hand forged. It is larger than a jewelry box. It is 18 “ long, 10 inches wide & 8 inches deep on the inside not counting the decorative wood on top. I would like any info I can get, value, origination, that sort of thing. I live in Oklahoma & acquired it here. Some people think it may be of Native American origin but I have no idea.

Occasional table

American Furniture
Condition
Mint
Long Description

I have a 26 tall by 20 in diameter occasional table that's been in my family that my mother's told me that is over 150 years old. I know it was in the family before she was born and that was in 1933. Im not sure if the table was built by a professional furniture maker or a simply a talented individual. She did have it refinished about 40 years ago which I know can make a difference in the value. In either case I would like would be interested in receiving appraisal on the table.
