    I purchased this table at an estate sale today. Does anyone know how I can discover the style and time period? There are no markings, and it seems to be solid wood- no vaneers. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    I would suggest you take a picture showing the table in its entirety, a look at the top, and maybe share the dimensions. I can also tell you that the Pros around here are most likely going to tell you that brown furniture as little value, as our society becomes less traditional and less concerned about quality built products.;)
    With all that being said, I hope you enjoy your purchase and if you provide some more information, you are very likely to get the answers to your questions.:smuggrin:

    Thank you for replying! I found a very similar table while researching. It's listed as an American Sheraton Acanthus table in cherry, circa 1820. Everything is identical except our table has a plain, curved edge instead of a scallop edge in the corners of the tabletop. We were thinking our table was mahogany. It seems it's hard to distinguish between mahogany and cherry, so I don't know. The legs are identical and the description of the triangular leaf support sounds just like ours.

    This other table is listed at a ridiculous price. I'm not really interested in it's value so much as I am about it's history. I guess I need to know for insurance purposes only. We got this to be a side table in our dining room. We have a grandmother's Duncan Phyfe style set in there, and this table would just look pretty with it.

    You're right; not many people are interested in antiques with gorgeous wood. My husband cringes when he sees things being painted. I'm of the mindset that if the wood is not in good condition or not pretty, paint it. Better painted than thrown away. :)
