Pair Demi Lune rosewood tables with inlay 1887

Description

What I know:  my mother in law, who gave these to me, was an antiques dealer and store owner and she hinted that these were worth some money.  They are ornately beautiful.  1887 is stamped on the back of each table.

They're in wonderful condition except the tops, which are water damaged.  I put plants on top of them.  I know, I know, that was really ignorant.

A VERY similar item on 1st dibs calls them Louis XV.  Here is a link:

We're moving and I don't want to lug them acroos the country.  What price should I ask for them?
