Description
This table needs refinishing but the inside gear mechanism works perfectly. I have a pull that releases the table to enable it to be pulled apart to get to the inner leaf. It has metal claw feet. I'm not interested in selling, but curious in the value of the table.

Tables of this type are in what's called the "Federal Revival" style. Federal Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Federal furniture originally produced from 1780-1820, based on English pieces designed by George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton.
The Federal Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply.This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial and Federal styles from the Jacobean to Duncan Phyfe.
The style reached it's peak of popularity during the mid 1920's, but pieces of this type remained in production through the early 1940's.
Tables of this type remain in production to this day. Values for them
are generally under $350.00 at auction.
