I’m so glad to have found this forum! This little table belongs to my mother in law and she needs to sell it. Any thoughts on value? Thank you!

    We need more information...where did she buy it, when, was it new or used?

    I’m sorry. I know she bought it used. She doesn’t remember when. I’m guessing it’s from the 1930s-40s but I’m not sure. The family has been in California for a long time. Thank you.

    Would guess mahogany ca. 1950. Very pretty, but unfortunately there are many of these on the market, so value would be minimal.

    Thank you. That’s actually really helpful. She’s pretty convinced anything antique is valuable but I know that’s not always true.

    But this isn't an antique anyway. 100 years old is the standard. ;)

    The kind of dining room table a nice middle class family would have owned in its day. Missing its chairs.

    Yes, and the type of screws used on the hardware says modern era.

    James.

    PS: Phillips screws were use in since 1934, beginning with the U. S. automotive industry.
