[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 1966357, member: 4438"]Hello, all. Yesterday I pulled out my Kramer’s antique improver and went to work improving an old carved barley twist canes table we have. I did it outside, and of course the strong smell of the Kramer’s caused some social distancing! I always thought the table was oak, but when it was outside it took on a distinctive reddish look. I also worked an old oak table that I posted about quite a while ago. The small table is oak, so I put them side by side. The barley twist table has been in our family for about 50 years, and was purchased as a vintage piece back then. The stain on the top caning is pretty much gone but the caning itself is in perfect condition. I think someone must have used it as a plant stand (which it probably is) because there is a black stain on top I couldn’t get rid of. Does anyone know where this table was made, what it’s made of, and its approximate age? The carving looks like things I’ve seen from Belgium. Thanks, everyone.
