<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ShariM, post: 1758891, member: 14361&quot;]Thank you for replying!&nbsp; I found a very similar table while researching.&nbsp; It&#039;s listed as an&nbsp; American Sheraton Acanthus table in cherry, circa 1820.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; It seems it&#039;s hard to distinguish between mahogany and cherry, so I don&#039;t know. The legs are identical and the description of the triangular leaf support sounds just like ours.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This other table is listed at a ridiculous price.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really interested in it&#039;s value so much as I am about it&#039;s history.&nbsp; I guess I need to know for insurance purposes only.&nbsp; We got this to be a side table in our dining room.&nbsp; We have a grandmother&#039;s Duncan Phyfe style set in there, and this table would just look pretty with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re right; not many people are interested in antiques with gorgeous wood.&nbsp; My husband cringes when he sees things being painted.&nbsp; I&#039;m of the mindset that if the wood is not in good condition or not pretty, paint it.&nbsp; Better painted than thrown away.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
