Marble top tables - 50 years old

Profile picture for user PWeathersLOST
By PWeathersLOST, 27 July, 2021
Description

Coffee Table, two end tables, and an Occasional/Sofa/Hall table. I'm worried since I've seen two other posts on here with no comments. Does this mean no one knows? These have marble tops, mahogany bottoms, harp bases. There are flower accents and tongue and groove drawers. The word Victorian is stamped in one of the drawers. I need to know their value for my mother. She tells me they're over 50 years old. I do not know. I have seen them in antique stores before, but I want to be sure I do not over or under price when she is ready to sell. Please help!

Re: Marble top tables - 50 years old

This one looks quite a bit like one of yours and lots of people are watching it so it’d be a good one to watch and see if it sells at that price https://www.ebay.com/itm/233345154957?hash=item3654747f8d:g:TNEAAOSwzrN…
A good search term would be Victorian Style Marble Top Harp (or Lyre) Base Tables. I’m guessing yours are from around the 1950’s.

Re: Marble top tables - 50 years old

These more modern Victorian Revival pieces tend to date from the late 70's through the 1980's when the demand for the 19th Century originals drove prices beyond the reach of average people. Most are imports from Italy, China/Southeast Asia. Demand for Victorian style furniture has been very weak since its peak during the late 1980's to early 90's and is currently hard to sell.

Re: Marble top tables - 50 years old

Yea; this is why I reached out - the range is SO vast. I believe Etsy has them WAY over priced. Locally for me has them UNDER priced. Ebay seems all over the place, but I definitely am not about to ship them. So I'm trying to decide their actual worth so I can sell them for my mom and still have them picked up at her home. I just want a good price - I'm not trying to make a killing!
