[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 1971301, member: 4438"]Thanks everyone. I have a number of antique and vintage furniture pieces, so I try to guess origin based on other exemplars I’ve seen. I own, and have seen, a number of carved barley twist furniture pieces. I also have two cane chairs, one with barley twists. I haven’t seen another two-tier cane table where both tiers have caning. I also have not seen carving on a round table, with carving on the top and on the side, with barley twists and caning. I have a couple of pieces I might call “primitive,” where it’s a local craftsman making a piece or two. This barley twist table, however, seems too well done to be a one-off piece (but of course it could be custom). Obviously my scope of knowledge is amateurish and limited in scope, so I appreciate all of you experts giving me your opinions. Here is a close up of the carved top and side. This goes all the way around the top. There are four flowers on the top and side, located at each barley twist. From the seams, it appears that the top and bottom were made of eight pieces of wood.
