So when I see a period piece that seems to qualify, I am interested. This three level table needed some work: the base was loose and falling off, the black paint on the edges partially gone, various scars and scratches, especially to the four panel figured veneer top. One of the good things about finding furniture showing age that needs repair, is that you can see internal construction details that are typically hidden. In this case, the hide glue and smooth dowel construction makes me believe this to be made in the deco period, possibly up to mid century, and not a later 80s remake which is much more common to see these days. I don’t think the black paint edges and mahogany and crotch mahogany veneer would be much past Deco period. My problem is that I would like to find a similar piece, and I haven’t been able to do so.
