Appreciate it, Lovejoy. What do you think of the craftmenship?
Re: Mahogany (?) Hand Carved-Inlaid-Living Room Table
It's midrange stuff, the carving was done by machine, the inlays on these were all punched out like jigsaw parts.

Re: Mahogany (?) Hand Carved-Inlaid-Living Room Table
I'm not taking any offers at the moment, as i'm awaiting for more opinions. I'm not so sure "the carving was done by machine". The chisel marks and inconistancies in the carving of the corners and feet is off the charts. Maybe machines in the 1950's-70's could produce like this? I don't know, but it seems highly unlikey. The inconsistancies and chisel marks just screem hand carved. But, I could be wrong.
Re: Mahogany (?) Hand Carved-Inlaid-Living Room Table
I'll post another thread with closeup's of what i'm talking about tomorrow and you'll see what I mean. This has to be hand carved. There's too many carve marks, carve depth differences and pattern inconistancies for this to be done by machine in 1950's. It just doesn't make sense.
Re: Mahogany (?) Hand Carved-Inlaid-Living Room Table
A lot of machine carving looks like that, particularly if a piece has been refinished at some point. You can rest assured it is not an antique.
