    Hi Everyone,

    I was wondering if anyone has any information about this little table. Also, the legs are a little rickety and I would like some advice on how to tighten them up!

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    Looks like a 1940s Demilune table. If a bit wobbly try removing the screws and putting a bit of toothpick into each hole and tighten the screws again.

    Agree with 40s demi-lune. Wood looks like walnut. The only real way to reliably tighten this is to disassemble and re-glue.

    Not only cute, but worth a fortune...
    A lot of NWC artists start off by studying museum collections to hone their understanding of the traditional forms and designs used by their ancestors .
    The Portrait mask from the PEM, is a distinct style from a certain area and tribal culture, & yes , the artist who did my mask created his version of a Northern Portrait mask, based on this same style, but with his own twist on the design.
