What can you tell me about this tilt top table?
« on: September 16, 2011, 05:44:36 pm »
I received this table for free and am looking for any information on it.  I have looked on line, the range of value is huge, and I can't find anything that looks really similar.  I am guessing that based on the hardware it is old but I have no idea from what approximate year.  It could use a good polish and one of the legs has been repaired but otherwise it is in good shape.  I have included a picture of the leg repair.  It looks to be professionally done.

Thanks for your time and knowledge!!

I really like your table. Did it have a repair to one of the legs or feet?

Yep, one of the legs has been repaired.  Although the wood is a little darker who ever fixed it knew what they were going as it appears very professional.

Sorry, I didn't see that, lol My eyes were focused on the table. I don't know  that much about furiture and I don't if you've tried to any research. I went to ebay where there were 39 tables and I hit on images of tilt table tops. Antique, 40'30 and so on. I'm still looking to see any similar to yours. Feel safe, lol their people who know far more than me on this site, lol

What a great table to get for free! I like to think I know a lot about furniture but I am actually a newbie. To my untrained eyes it looks genuinely old. The legs remind me of the civil war era (1860s). The brass underneath looks pretty old as well. Does it have nails or just screws? Can we get clear pictures of any nails, screws and the brass? That would help with dating! Looking forward to see more pics. :)

I've been out of it for a while but did get one picture of hardware that is a little closer up.  Unfortunately my camera is having focus issues so I am luckt to have gotten this one!  I am looking to sell this table and have no idea what the value could be.  Appreciate your opinions very much!!!
