Re: Imperial mahogany dropleaf coffee table
The Mahogany Association, Inc. placed these stickers on the furniture prior to 1969 and is certifying that it is genuine mahogany and not a dyed wood of lesser quality. The association basically issued decals to manufacturers that could certify that their products were made of real mahogany. Imperial mass produced tables in all styles and pieces similar to this one in the Georgian Hepplewhite style . This style was popular from the mid 1920's through the 1950's, no huge value currently, many sell at auction for under $100.00.
