this table came in as a donation so i have no family history or anything and while researching it i have come across many just on google but there is such a huge price range anywhere from 7000.00 to 400.00 for very similar pieces and very few clues to weather my piece is high end piece or not the only identifying mark is a small brass tag on one of the stocks that reads made in italy (see photo) there is another type from that time frame that is hollywood regency but i have ruled them out because the footing is curled the only other info i can find is very general so i could really use any insight on this table thank you ..
