I have a large table that is 1910 Beaux Arts Classicism Antique Oak with TX Limestone Top. It came with our office space, which used to be owned by Billy Clayton (the late Texas House Speaker). It doesn't fit in our offices, and I am just wondering how much it would be worth/where I could sell it, or what I could do with it.

Would it be possible for it to be used as a desk ?? You didn`t take a front or back pic so can`t see if its open in the middle !!

It is open in the middle, but it is HUGE, it is in our largest room right now, and it takes up way too much space.

Where are you located in Texas ??  I am in NE part !!  My suggestion would be to consign it to a good quality auction house possibly in the Austin, Houston, Dallas Ft. Worth area !!  That's where your buyers would be !!
As to its worth,,My personal opinion would be somewhere between $5000. and $8000. depending on who is at the sale and how it is advertised !! Most quality auction houses do a pretty good job and they know their buyers !!
