Re: Antique Gateleg Table - Imperial Furniture Grand Rapids, MI
hi, i'm sunshine and i have one of these tables. mine only says it's mahogany in the drawer, but there is a decal under the table top. i was able to determine the age (roughly) by the label. there are 5 different label styles that i have found that correspond with ages.
btw, imperial was started by stuart foote, who was a student/employee of stickley.

"Colonial Revival" style tables like this generally date from the first quarter of the 20th century, but were made right through the 1940's in very large numbers.
