BTW someone asked in another forum if it has a spot for a glass and it does.
From the other forum:
"The framing techniques are the same as a door. Longitudinal pieces forms the perimeter and gives a degree of dimnesional stablity. With moisture, wood expands considerably cross grain, but very little with the grain (lenghtwise). The panels fit in slots and there is probably clearance in the slots to allow the panels to expand and contract. A glass cover over the top is needed to protect the highly carved panels. Interesting.
Most of the cost is in the carvings."

Hey here's a couple more pics, underneath and one of the cornerr.
No markings or anything printed below. Everything seems to be held together by screws and no glue, unless the glue has deteriorated.
Thanks for the welcome and taking a look!

Hi I received this wooden table a while ago and was told its been in their family for generations. She also told me it was hand carved. I am moving and cannot hold this table anymore so am looking to sell it. It's about 3ft x 6ft and stands 2ft tall.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Antique or not? Type of wood? Fair price? Best way to sell it?
Thank you in advance!
