    I have a very nice coffee table that I would like to sell, its 18"high, top is 24 x 38". Legs are tiger oak I believe, the rest of the construction is red and white oak. Great color and there is no real damage. original hardware is very nice shape. Has what look like forged wig nuts on the leg fasteners. Dovetail drawer.
    Your thoughts are appreciated in regards to a fair asking price. IMG_1911.JPG IMG_1909.JPG IMG_1908.JPG

    Price will be determined by where you are (Metropolitan or rural, west coast, midwest, east coast).
    How you intend to sell.

    I would date your table to late 1970s and after. This would not have been a style of the 1930s/40s.

    Coffee tables didn't exist until after WWII as far as I know. This would have been made to be sold when arts and crafts furniture became hot again for a while. 1980s/early 90s I think.

    Correct - coffee tables as we know them. Low tables that sit in front of the sofa, were something that became popular after WWII.

    I’m thinking it might take a while to sell if priced at $59.95. Smacks me as a bit Edsel-ish and the production run was short after sales data came back. I wouldn’t take that table if I was offered it for free.

    As evelyb said, it is Arts and Crafts style.
    Again depends on where you are. There is still a decent market for Arts and Crafts in some areas. However, in other areas, this would be a painting project.

    For the US, right?;)
    Overhere we had coffee tables in the 1910s, I think I posted a 1917ish Dutch coffee table a couple of years ago. And I have a 1920s Amsterdam School coffee table that is lower than some modern ones.

    Believe this is an old desk or library table that has been cut down. The split top is an issue. Would be lucky to get anything above $50.00 here in the Midwest.

    I was wondering about that. It has a taller table look, if that makes sense.

    Best case scenario if it was originally taller, one of the legs got broken. Someone then got smart and cut all of them off to make a coffee table.
