Need Help Identifying Library Table

This has been in my family since before I was born (1958). It's too big for us (84" by 40"). Is this worth a re-finish job? It looks like the tabletop is Mahogany. Any value just selling as-is? It's pretty rough, needing joint fixes in addition to the re-finish. But it's super solid structurally. Thank you!

 

I can't help you but I understand too big. Welcome.

 

Good, stately table. Not refinish (probably doesn't need it), but could try something yourself called Restor-a-finish (or just a good waxing), for a much better presentation.

 

Thanks!

My wife said, "Hey, I have some of that!" So we're gonna look at it tomorrow. I think hers is too dark, tho... she's got "Walnut".

 

Nicer than most. Certainly worth spiffing up a bit to sell. While the walnut color might be a bit dark, you could use it to good effect. Think a mahogany color would be more appropriate, though not necessarily more saleable.

 

Try out of view. Undersurface tabletop or some like that.

 

Very handsome table!

I purchased a Stickley library table that I was going to use as a kitchen work table but mine was just a wee short. Perhaps another way to market yours though.

 

I did. It's pretty amazing stuff. I used ultra-fine steel wool in some places to even out some blotchiness. But it worked out to look far better than when I started.

 

Right! Our family's holiday meals were spent around this table when I was a kid. It worked great. This one has castors that raise it a bit if needed.
