Re: marble top table

Your table is in the Eastlake Style. Tables of this type were very popular in the period, and were produced in great quantity. The Eastlake furniture style as envisioned by its namesake, Charles Lock Eastlake, came about in response to his dislike of the over-the-top Rococo and Renaissance Revival styles popular during the Victorian era. Although Eastlake furniture is technically considered Victorian, being popular from 1870-1890, it breaks away from the excessive high relief carving, classical elements and numerous curves of other styles produced during this timeframe. Although usually asking a higher price to begin, these tables typically sell in shops in the $350.00 - $500.00 range. With the marble top being broken I'd estimate a range of $250.00 - $300.00. A nice table, nonetheless.

Re: marble top table

Thank you for such a fast reply - that is some great information!

I'm guessing that this other table I have might be from the same style though it seems to be a bit more ornate - it doesn't have the marble and is a darker wood or stain and is in excellent condition - it's taller though and square - like a hallway table I guess.
What's the best way to sell these kinds of items - at auction?

Besides these two tables I have a rocking chair (my great grandfathers in great shape with some ornate carving on it, a metal top bakers table, 2 press back chairs, a cedar(maybe?) chest, then some artwork - Harry Payne X - probably prints - they're huge with huge ornate frames - wood with I think gold paint - there are other smaller versions of these frames with family photo's though and not in perfect shape. A couple of table lamps - brass maybe and a motion lamp from the 30's and then a bunch of little things like china and glass stuff.

I'm just not sure what the best route to sell these items - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
