This table came to our family around 1890, when my wife's grandfather bought it from a neighbor family in Bremond, TX. The neighbor family, who had immigrated from the UK some years earlier, had decided to return to England and offered their furniture for sale to either fund their trip back or reduce the items they'd have to ship.
An any rate, the table is at least 122 years old, wity its original finish and with marble casters that freely move and are completely usable.
I have as many as 12 photos. I will provide as many as your web page will accept. Or you may view them on my Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26765708@N08/8185683701/in/set-72157632008643685
We hope to get a free verbal valuation of the table...just for our information. It is doubtful we would ever sell it, since it came down to my wife through her grandmother and great-grandfather.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn more about our table.....a better estimate of its true age and an estimate of its current value.
Sincerely,
Jim Young, Sr.

Re: 1800s Occasional Table w/marble casters
Based on the images your table is a Victorian piece in the Eastlake style and dates from about 1885. Tables like this were made in huge numbers during the last quarter of the 19th ceneuty and values for them today remain quite modest. Most comparable tables sell at auction for less than $150.00.
