<p>[QUOTE="missavl, post: 23253, member: 315"]My aunt bought this table roughly 25 years ago. She believes it is from the turn of the century. When she bought it, it was painted black with gold trim and an Asian theme to it. She isn't into oriental antiques so she stripped the paint and refinished it. It came with 4 chairs that were stuffed with horse hair, she reupholstered the chairs, but kept the horse hair in the seats. Anyway she admitted recently, that even though she refers to it as a "game table" she isn't 100% sure what the pull outs are for. She said she maybe they use to be draws missing their bottoms, but the pull outs come out on each side and each pulls out to a full half a length of the table ( For those curious the openings on either end open up 17" long and 20" wide.), which she thinks is too far for a drawer. She also isn't really sure where it was from, even though she found the paint job to be of an oriental design she couldn't be 100% sure that it was from Asia. I would really appreciate any feedback and gladly welcome any additional questions. If needed I could take more photos if it would help with identifying it.</p><p>Oh, the table is about 46"L x 30"W x 28"H <a href="http://imgur.com/a/Rf9uN" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgur.com/a/Rf9uN" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/Rf9uN</a> (<-- photos here)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
