Antique 6 leg Oak Table (1800's approximate)

[heyayou1113]

Any Ideas on value in today's market? Dimensions are 2 1/2 feet high, 3 feet long, and 2 feet wide. Also what would you call a table like this, is there some name for the style? Thank you for your time and expertize.

How did you come by that date ?? 1800`s ??

The person who owns it told me that when they acquired it they were told it was late 1800's, not sure it is though.

It definitely looks machine-made, everything is very uniform and very consistant in size from one side to the other as far as I can see. It would help a lot if you could post some construction photos of the underside, especially of any hardware- screws, nails etc.

Nice, with double stretcher base, an accent piece, probably a hall table or library table, ....... but me no thinks it is made of oak. And because of the shape of the legs I am going to guess circa 1920-30's.

Looks like hard rock maple from our "Early American" period !! Many pieces were done similar to old styles from the 40`s on !! Table is too short for a hall table at 2 1/2 ft. !!  I think its an occassional table as they used to call them. Used as an accent piece in a formal living room or could have been used as an end table by a sofa !!  Without seeing construction,, I think it is a modern piece !!

The screws are inset into round drilled holes about 2 inches deep, the tops of the screws are rusted a bit but they are flat-head screws. It is very uniform and does look like it was made with the assistance of newer woodworking equipment. Also you're probably right about it being maple, it seems too light in both weight and color to be oak. I've also attached some images of the wood-pattern on the bottom and one of the screw-holes. Thank you for your help I don't know much about wood antiques I mostly do antique silver but am helping somebody move some stuff.
