Round Table with Claw Feet

By gigglebyte68, 9 February, 2010
Description

Just want to know what this table is and if I should have it professionaly restored. I love the table. It has a 2" lip on the top all the way around and looks like it may have had gold guilding on the table top itself. One of the clawed feet is missing the metal claw part. It appears to be all original and has not been retouched to the best of my knowledge. The only mark I can find is on the bottom with a date that is wrote on it that says either 1940 or 1740..can't tell (pretty sure it says 1940). The lady I got it from did not care for it and allowed her animals to climb all over it which is where I think the scratches on the top got there. The wood is in beautiful shape with a nice patina to it. I would appreciate knowing what this table is and if it has any value and should I have it restored.

Re: Round Table with Claw Feet

Tables of this type generally date from the second quarter of the 20th Century, but remained in and out of production following the dictates of fashion for the next 50 years. The style is what's referred to as the 'Federal Revival style'. The style getting its name because such pieces used stylist motifs found on American Colonial furniture originally made 1620-1780. At auction these often sell for under $100.00
