<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 153526, member: 37"]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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
