Featured Grandma died left these end tables... Need info / direction... HELP !

I have these very unique tables and have not been able to find anything about them so I'm coming to the experts.... Any info on origin, make, value range would be very helpful. I really don't know what to do with them other than take my chances with eBay.
Please help.

I live in the Ft Lauderdale FL area.

Thanks

 

Couple more pics...

 

These are both unusual. Both would be considered demi-lune tables but not so similar otherwise. I'll deal with the second one first since it is a bit more straightforward. It is a circa 1940 mahogany with basic elements from Duncan Phyfe, though in a form that Duncan would probably cringe over. That two-tier configuration on a pedestal is really odd. The first appears to be older. At least 30s but could be older. I would like to see drawer construction and the back to get a better idea of age. Not sure if this is for plants or is a double cellarette. I assume the two wells are lined somehow or are missing liners. Looks to be walnut.

 

I was thinking plants also......it's a cutie !!!

 

Love it! They are in so good size to be used for "charmy" look house.

 

Local collection only. I doubt if they would fetch enough to justify what would be expensive shipping.

 

Yes I believe you are correct, I seem to remember there was matching tin or metal inserts for plants although I only seen fake plants placed in them. The have inserts since eroded or deteriorated and were thrown away.

Any idea of a value range? As I would like to move them quickly.

Thanks again.

 

is there any marks on the top table to signify that it might have had a different base at one time ? it is very unusual to me also

 

Find a local antique auction if you want to rid them quickly.
I dont know where you are located and what is trending in your area but Im in the south east of the united states.

Clean them up with Howards restore a finish.

On an average night they might bring $50-75 each, on a good night they might bring $100-125 each, and that is a big might.

 

Verybrad, if it was a (autocorrect alert) Cellardyke and those areas were tin lined, how would it be used? I've always thought of cellarettes as closed cabinets.

Just as accessory to hold and chill wine?

 

You are correct that many cellarettes are covered or just for storage. There are some open ones for cooling. I suppose that they could have another name ... wine cooler?



Given that the Op's piece is most likely 20th century, I think it being a planter is more likely.
