<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 8835463, member: 30&quot;]Pardon the dust, these photos were taken before I cleaned it. The top measures about 16&quot; x 16&quot; and I&#039;ve since scraped off and removed much of the bubbled finish. Not sure, but I think it was shellac (or maybe old timey varnish). I used a razor blade to smooth it down, and the shavings looked most like shellac. </p><p><br /></p><p>Looked like someone left a 1950s plastic doily on the top for too long and it bit into the surface! I took these photos before I did my 15 minutes of work to it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I cheated and used some dark wood Formby&#039;s to smooth out the stain, which wasn&#039;t the best but worked ok to hide the sins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know, I know, I said I&#039;m not in &quot;buying mode&quot; and I&#039;m not, but when i was there to make a donation that wasn&#039;t taken bc they &quot;can&#039;t sell ceiling fans&quot; - I found this for $10 at Habitat. (It had an auction tag on it - ??? No idea?)&nbsp; It matches the rest of my 1910-1920s minimal farmhouse furniture look, but I truly don&#039;t know how old it is.&nbsp; The eye hooks and screws are attached beneath all 4 corners and as the result, it&#039;s very strong and sturdy, so now I wonder if it is older than 1900? </p><p><br /></p><p>How old is this table and what &quot;style&quot; is it, please?&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]429489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429490[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429492[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
