Based on the shots of hinges this table is a Chippendale reproduction, probably dating from the second quarter of the 20th Century.  This type of hinge was invented in 1902, but was not widely available until the 1920's. Most furniture manufacturers produced lines of this "Colonial Revival Style" furniture, without a label it's imp[ossible to determine a maker. This is a high quality example, we'd sell one like this for about $600.00.

In the early 1930s, the Phillips head screw was invented by Henry Phillips. Automobile manufacturers now used car assembly lines. They needed screws that could take greater torque and could provide tighter fastenings. The Phillips head screw was compatible with the automated screwdrivers used in assembly line. just a little info on screws, I see phillips on the hinge? could help you date this.

Screws can help date a piece, but are often replaced on pieces that have been refinished if the holes have become stripped. Even hinges can be replaced, but the Soss hinges are tricky to install without jig designed to do it.
