    I think the main thing I love about it are the legs!! Has it been painted? Are you going to refinish it? @Ghopper1924?? Thoughts??

    Hmmm. It almost looks like an older desk or sidetable that was cut down and repurposed. Those mirrors look off. Is it painted ?

    The mirror painted or the table? Table have brown color paint. The mirror have some kind of sticky rubber crack coating on the frame. The actual glass itself is thin. Not thick antique mirror

    Think you are right on with the dates. Have seen some dressing tables made like this.

    Agree with the dates for the table, but also agree with Johnny that the mirrors look off, as if its a hybrid of some sort. I'd stay away from it, personally.

    When you post the photos do they look right side up to you? I'm pretty sure you can edit them right here.

    Acanthus leaf carved front legs harken back to American Empire form, first half of 19th century. But this is, as you believe, part of Empire revival from early 20th century.

    I think it looks correct not a hybrid and without major changes over the years. Revival furniture almost always a mix of designs and forms, borrowing bits and pieces as desired. That said, no real demand yet for brown factory made reproduction furniture, so buy it only if you like it and can use it.
