    Been away for awhile due to a move but picked up this table recently in Colorado and wondering what y'all think about its age, origin, style, woods, etc. I'd guess 19th Century, oak or elm but not sure about the top. Image searches led me to some similar tables with turned legs that were described as Louis Philippe style.

    It's about 70" wide and 28" deep. The top is three planks, about 1.25" thick, that obviously separated a bit at some point. It has two drawers on one of the long sides with hand cut dovetail joints, three-piece bottoms, and non-original pulls (both have two holes for previous pulls that have been filled and stained) .

    Let me know what you think and what additional photos might help.

    The only thing I noticed is that the top almost looks like it doesn't go with the base-- but maybe that's the photo or just from years of use. It's a cool piece. Did former owners have any info?

    That was my immediate first impression, too.

    This looks put together from old barn wood. That was a popular thing to do at the end of the 20th century, when country decorating was hot.

    If you have photos of the underside, particularly the construction of the drawers and any marks or stamps on the wood, that would definitely help narrow down the style and age further
