[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 4034284, member: 5170"]I'd call it a Rococo Revival console table, ca. 1860. Probably rosewood or walnut, it's hard to tell from the photo. Likely made in New Orleans or the northeastern U.S. If it's genuine, it's probably worth over $2K. Do you mind saying about how much you paid for it? Not to be too sobering, but please make sure this is not a recent (less than 50 years old) SE Asian reproduction. I've seen some very convincing ones that you could not tell apart from originals just looking at the photos. Look at the marble underneath for age marks.
