I found this table at a car boot sale over 15 years ago. The woman that sold it to me said it used to belong to her grandmother and that she didn't want to sell it but needed to make room in her house.
I think it's supposed to have a glass top, but there wasn't one. The whole thing folds quite flat, and it swings open and has two swing legs underneath it.
I have no idea how much it's worth, maybe nothing...but it's a stunning beautiful carving on the top! It took me hours and hours to clean it up when I bought it for only ÂŁ20!...You could barely see the carvings. The outside of the legs also have an oriental/flower carving down them.
I showed a bad picture of it to a little local antique shop about 10 years ago, they said it wasn't worthing anything but would give me ÂŁ50 for it as it looked so nice...obviously I declined as I wasn't THAT desperate for money!
It seems to have a crack/split in the top which may have been repaired before.
I picked this up in Thailand, Honestly I don't even know if it is Ivory, I was told it was and that it was a youth dagger given to a young man when they reached maturity, i was also told it was hand made around the turn of the century, I didn't pay much for it so no harm done if it's worthless but I would like to know. I do know anything with IVORY has to be worth something. Thank you,
It is a real 18-24k gold bell in the shape of a young women with a bonette on and
long wide dress. The style is that of "gone with the wind". There is atrademark stamped in the back low on the dress which appears to be more like a film or movie company trademark
