<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 122395, member: 37"]Interesting table that I would date to about 1920. Can't really tell you what the style is. This was a period where makers began mixing style elements to create new forms. Consequently, it often gets called simply 20th century historical revival style. There was no actual historical styles being revived but design elements were. This most closely matches Italian Renaissance designs. </p><p><br /></p><p>With those Walter of Wabash slides, it is undoubtedly American and likely Midwest in origin. Have never heard of Northern Furniture Co. so took a look. I see that they did work in some figured veneers so could be a possibility for this. A lot of furniture was made in MI at this time so it would not surprise me. It actually really doesn't matter much who made it. If it is not by one of the top makers, the overall form and condition are the primary factors in evaluating. I can not tell what kind of wood this is from your pictures. Too out of focus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
