[QUOTE="Mattyuk, post: 9529387, member: 82596"]Hi everyone I'm new here so please go easy on me! I know nooothing about antique furniture :( I have inherited a table and am trying to work out what it is. It appears to be almost identical to [URL]https://www.maryleboneantiques.co.uk/shop/sold-items/antique-french-mahogany-leather-console-side-table/[/URL] but I'm a bit sceptical about the brass coloured "ormolu" mounts/mouldings. Mine seem to be made of a kind of glued wood mulch painted brass colour, rather than an actual metal, and held on with little pins. Can anyone shed any light on what that means? Is it a 1930s french table like the one in the link above, or is it something else? I've attached some photos. I'm in the UK. The "ormolu" is on three sides only like the one on the link shown. Any help greatly appreciated I couldn't find anything in any of the forums.[/QUOTE]
