Re: Ferguson Furniture Treasures
Your table is in the Federal Revival Style, which has never really been out of production since the 1920's, This one is based on "Silent Butler" tables made Circa 1780-1820, but dates from the second quarter of the 20th Century. Tables of this type were made in huge numbers and are not considered rare or very valuable. Currently at auction comparable table often sell in the $ 80.00- $150.00 range.
