[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9568418, member: 4654"]You are a Superstar Any, thank you, I knew you would be able to help :) I am going to restore this table, it's seen better days but no one in the auction knew what it was, even the auctioneer said after the auction had finished he thought it was Egyptian 1960's lol needless to say I didn't pay it's worth, there were many dealers who were surprised I kept on bidding and I was shocked they stopped bidding at such an early stage, I had 10x a larger budget than I needed and I was thinking I would pay half to a third it's retail value. This is a 2010 Chirstie's auction link for the same type table [URL]https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-5352327?ldp_breadcrumb=back&intObjectID=5352327&from=salessummary&lid=1[/URL][/QUOTE]
