From what I can see from the photos, it is possible that the pictures are painted on either cloth or papyrus reed which was very popular in the Middle East especially Egypt etc. Check them out and see if you can see any signiatures anywhere, it is a good place to start anyway. If the pictures are indeed don on papyrus reed then it will be pretty easy to spot as you can see the woven texture of the interwoven segements of reed.
I also have a Ferguson (folding)table, # 8063. It doesn't have any pictures on it. My mother bought it for her 1st anniversary present while my father was overseas in WWII.
It is in good condition. Do you have any information on what it is worth? If so, please email me at [email protected].

The medium on the top does
The medium on the top does not have anything that appears to be woven.
I have been trying to figure out what it might be, but have no clue.
I have looked up the Ferguson brothers and have found very little information on the possible value of their peices
