Carved top 3 legged table

Can anyone help me identify this table? I am cleaning out my house and rediscovered this table an old neighbor gave me. I am curious as to what type of table this is and is it worth something? One side drops and I noticed a possible lions face carved into the top. Thanks for the help!

 

Looks to be English oak, turn of the century imo. I buy them whenever I run across them, not because they are particularly valuable, but because they are entry price items in the shop that sell well. I'd likely retail it for around $150 too $175 depending on condition.

 

Does that top come off? Useful little late 19th/early 20th oak ocasional table, which you can pop back against the wall.

 

Great minds. I think this one is nicer than most. Dawn, I'd see it as about the £30 mark here, which fits with your sale price.

 

woops hit enter more than once lol. And yes I'd pay £30 too 40 with the markup hitting the US prices I noted above. I should have added...my pricing is for English pieces which tend to fetch higher prices in my market than what they would fetch in the U.K. I'm not sure where the poster is from.

 

Thank you all for your help!
I do not believe the top comes off.
Its nice to know its value too. Not sure I will part with it yet, the face in the wood is growing on me.

 

I would keep it if you have a use for it. And FYI....anything that has a face does sell lol. They're hot in the Us market. I honestly would snap that up and turn it around in a heartbeat. Pretty little table.

 

What am I missing? I cannot see a face of any kind.

 

I think it is on the bottom of the photo in the piece. I missed it completely until it was mentioned. Hard to see in the photo.

Kmurray, nice table. Please post photos as "full image" if you have additional posts.

 

It's in the carved portion of the piece front and centre...the swirls follow the face out on each side.

 

Thanks! I missed that completely.

 

I had to really expand it to see the face. I only did so because I have a similar table in my husbands office and wondered if it had a face

 

Isn't that the Green Man?

Google

 

Yes, and that makes it more interesting. Can you show the underside please?

 

There are 4 faces on this. Could be green man or north wind. Does make it more desirable. Agree with others on English origin, wood, and values. I might be hard-pressed to get $175.00 in my market but this is distinctive enough to give it a shot.

 

If there's four, and they're different, it's the four winds, agreed. There was a bit of a thing for that in the late 19th. I rather wonder if this was meant for a nursery, thinking about it. There was a wonderful series of children's books about the four winds.
