Entry table with carved legs of egret (?) standing on rams head

By Maritsa, 26 April, 2014
Description

Beautifully carved entry table.  All four legs appear to have an egret standing on a rams head.  My parents received this from a family member around 50 years ago.  I'm assuming it was an antique when it was given to them.  There is not marking on the underside that I can visualize.  Unfortunately, I don't know any history or origin of this great table.  I am interested in an appraisal and any information on this piece.   I am considering selling it.

Just that it was in the family for many years and they brought it to Penna from Chicago. If I find more info I will let you know, as I have just started to research it. A local appraiser looked at it and told me it is very unique and beautiful, but she could not give a value or history. She felt the rams and egrets had a symbolic meaning. Thanks for the fast response

I've seen a few of these about, most tend to be late 19th to early 20th Century pieces, so far I've not come across any data as to who made them, but they appear to be American made. At auction they've sold in the $400.00- $900.00 range.
