Featured Table

Hi all I was wondering does anyone know much about this table it's age value ect

 

Beautiful quarter sawn oak table with barley twist legs. "Early 20th Century." My guess would be around 1910-20.

High quality, but of course with the ongoing recession in the antiques market it's not worth alot, at least in the U.S. midwest, where you could probably get it at auction for $75-$150.

 

I only payed 10 euro for it so I'm happy lol it's a beautiful little table

 

And will last you a lifetime.

 

Amen. It's criminal that a table like this would go for as much - or less - than some contemporary pressed sawdust crap.

 

Unfortunately it is the age we live in.

 

A useful, really well made little thing, perfect for a small modern house, too. Mad, isn't it. But at least you saved it.

 

"Unfortunately it is the age we live in,"

True, but I don't have to like it

Rock chalk!

 

Rock chalk for sure!!! Gatelegs are such a good use of space. I probably 4 or 5 in various rooms of my house.

 

great table....everyone should have one....

 

I would have payed 200 for it I fell in love with it I bought a job lot at auction got that and a really old painting another old print comoys of london large tobacco jars carlton ware tobacco jar and a set of silver fish knives all for 20 euro mad

 

It's a real little beauty. love the legs on it

 

Tgey are fantastic space I'm putting it in is not that big so it slots right into place

 

Love saving things if I can buy a load of stuff for 20 that's why I said half for that don't like to think of what does be dine with them . My dad got this out of a skip in kilruddery house co Wicklow his brother works there was under layers of awful varnish he restored it a beautiful piece of irish furniture

 

Kudos to yer Dad !!!
That's really sweet !

 

More of that beautiful quarter sawn oak!

 

Awesome - I finally know what my free upright piano is made of!! Half of it was painted vomit green - ahem - 'antiqued green' - but what I've been able to get off (and what wasn't ruined by some fool) is this exact same pattern of wood. It's lovely, if a bit out of tune, and now I'm compelled to refinish it all. In the spring.

 

Yer da is grand, he did a great job on that.

 

Oh ild say a piano in that is fantastic u may post pics its a furniture maker in Dublin thus piece was made it was under layers of really dark varnish and a piece on end was off but he restored it back to whar it should be ild live to pick up his skills trying to anyway lol
