Marble Topped Table

[ghopper1924]

Hey all:

I just got this marble topped table in Missouri yesterday. It's round, 31" tall x 35" wide, so it's pretty big. I imagine that it was made in Michigan or Ohio about 1870. It still has all of its finials, paw feet and other details, though there are some stress cracks on a couple of the legs.

So what do we think on insurance replacement value?

Is this  a demi-lune or round ??

It's round.

Victorian furniture has sure been bombing out lately !!  I would say for insurance purposes about $1200. !!  Hope you got a deal on it !!  Does it look to have been refinished ??

[ghopper1924]

Bombing out for sure

It has not been refinished. Got it for $300, so good times all around.

Thanks Mart!!

Good deal then !!  Hopefully the market will pick up !!

Nice piece!  You got a good price.  Around here this would still sell for $300 - $600.

I agree on the insured amount.

Yes, the market is in one of it's swings.  But sooner/later it will swing back and the fine pieces will increase in value/desire. (Just hope we are still around when that happens!)
