Cherry Butler Table

we got these as a gift from parents who downsized. There is an auction upc sticker underneath the table, amd they were purchased in Franklin, TN, at least 20 year ago.

Does anyone know anything about these or the value?

I would think 50s or later.

 

Thanks for the input. My wife and I are clueless about furniture, but hope to sell these pieces to use for Christmas presents, and baby expenses.

Do you know anything about the style of the legs? We've been unable to find any that look like them, to help identify the manufacturer.

Any idea who made these?

Do the inlays throughout, or the four square pattern on the tops give any indication to the style, theme, or value?

Are these called a Butler Table and a Butterfly Drop Leaf table?

Thanks again for your expertise.

There are a bunch of furniture experts - I expect they'll be along soon!

 

I'm not a furniture person, but I'd call those legs "pinecone."

 

Id guess 70s,and I always called those legs pineapple,dont ask me why !

 

That's another good name for it, johnny!

 

These are end tables. The one with the drop leaf is based on a traditional Pembroke table. The Pineapple legs are not usual but you sometimes see this type of carvings on Southern/Caribbean 4 poster beds. There was a trend of furniture styling based on colonial plantation furniture at the end of the 20th century. These may be part of that trend. While these appear to be pretty good quality, they are just used furniture at this point.
