Asian motif table
« on: February 17, 2013, 07:57:03 am »
This is a small (40" tall when the top is as pictured) tip-up table that I actually acquired at an auction about 30 years ago and paid $80 for it then. I've been trying to find out how old it may be (my feeling is from the 20s or 30s) and if I paid too much.

This is Flip top occasional table,with Chinese decoration...the top background is black laquer..and the decor is most likely transfer print..I would say its older than the 20,s...more like late Victorian..lots of furniture like this was imported from China in the late 1800,s...value wise...you did,nt pay too much at the time you bought it...its a nice table....
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,
