Featured Antique small side table. Need help identifying

Hello and welcome.
It would be good to start a new thread with your demand so this one can stay on track.

 

Not sure what you mean. Is there an expiration or limit to the number of contributions?

 

no, it's just that threads can meander...and it's easier to find your own thread.....than trying to remember what other thread it was opened in the middle of...

I put together some tips on how to identify vintage and antique furniture, I would love some in-put from you all! https://www.lyndasparshatt.com/blog/difference-between-antique-vintage"

 

I found this:
http://www.aaxsf.com/product/miniature-thonet-round-table-circa-austria-1900/

Do you think is close enough to identify?

 

And it's better to hit REPLY...to the post you're answering...so as not to freak out......members who think you're being weird !!
Bawhahaha !!!!!

 

it sure is close....but I can't say a match....

 

And this one:?

The attached feet are on one pic but not the other. I guess they could have mixed the construction maybe? The screws and construction of the table I posted definitely look antique at least to me. Thanks for the tips I will dig in further. But feel free to chime in.

 

Whit my answer coming right after it, I thought it was clear...
Didn't pay attention it would come on a different page...
But I learned about the "reply" button, much easier then the "quote"option!

 

Did those have glossy or satin finishes? My table is matte
The second Link I posted is very close to the OP except in color and finish.

 

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?

Thank you

 

hello lucy...i have only just responded to a question similar to your query , but was for a chair......your table is generically referred to as an Austrian bentwood table and was a precursor to IKEA flatpack do it yourself and was delivered from suppliers in Austria unassembled......though no allen key used on this one .two manufacturers of these products i can remember are Thonet and the other was Kohn...these items were made from steam bent beech timber, usually supplied with laminated/ ply timber top, often replaced later with marble. they were finished in a black japan varnish circa 1880,,,,,yours shows a nice mellow faded finish regards ....pewter2

 

Hi Pewter2
Thank you for the information. However I am not clear if it is an original? And from what time period. Sorry just getting started with furniture.
Regards
Lucy

 

hello Lucy yes .original circa 1880/1890...... late victorian.. regards ..pewter2

 

It has 3 splits on the top. Not severe but noticeable. Does that make it undesirable or is it expected bracsub of it's age.

Thank you.

 

Splits do affect value significantly. Do not make it worthless.

 

I don't agree based on what I can see. I think its definitely into the 20th century.

Anyone interested in the long and involved history of Thonet should read this good introduction: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/mass-production-chair-man-1312583.html

 

I am sorry but the long article did not produce evedince of age. Can you narrow it down to specific detdeta to support your evaluation.

Thank you in advance.
