Grandparents old Center Table
« on: April 07, 2014, 08:26:27 am »
My grandparents really liked to buy elegant pieces of furniture for there home.  I cannot find any labeling or anything on this and have spent a lot of time googling images and such.
I have no idea what kind of style it is, where it came from or what its worth. Looks to be hand made. Lots of little imperfections is why I think that.

Any information would help. Just something to get me pointed in the right direction.

As you saw these are from the 1990`s,, and unlike what the ebay listing said,,not French and not antique !! You could find similar styled coffee tables by several furniture mfrs during that time !!  In my area of Texas it would sell for around $125. give or take a bit !!  They are quite sturdy and well made tables so selling should not be difficult if that's your plan !!

Well that's interesting. I know that my g parents didn't skimp when buying furniture. As the rug this sat on was 40k and the same style dining table was 80k . g dad was a ceo for a fortune 500 company.

Styles change and just because it was expensive when new does not mean it has appreciated in value over the years !!  If you buy a new car today,, it will not hold the same value 20 years later,, same with furniture !! No matter how well you take care of it !!
