    Picked this up today, any idea what the age would be? I've looked online and see vastly different values and different ages, so a bit curious if anyone knows the era of this

    From what I know the table top would be 19th century. Someone went on a trip to Italy and brought it home as a souvenir. Where the base was made would be wherever the buyer lived. It could have been done a lot later too. One of the furniture people would know better.

    It's trying hard to be Empire in style. That triangular buttressing of the coliseum walls was not complete until 1827, which puts it after the initial Empire period. A later revival, but I don't know when.
