Hmmm, in case we don't hear back and working with what we've got, this looks like a 1940s-50s Duncan Phyfe revival-type side table. Probably mahogany.

So, not antique but vintage and styled on earlier precedents. In this area this table might go for $100 at a decent antique dealer's shop, probably $50 at an estate sale.

Yeah, mart was getting outa hand on other thread & scaring the posters so i had to whip out my handy dandy BAM! thingy.
$155 huh, not bad. Although not depression era which we stumbled into on other thread, some people claim that it has seen rising prices/demand recently but i doubt we will be seeing it listed at Christie's anytime soon. I see a lot of this type of furniture as well as depression era at antique stores/malls all over the southeast USA. Mart, you closed your shop to soon, depression era is on the come back trail! Where are you located Kathy? and are you selling pieces on other thread as well?

I'm in south Georgia. Here prices are pretty good...for now anyway. Of course, if you chalk paint it you will usually get a better price. I refuse to paint an antique though, unless it's so damaged that you don't have a choice. And yes, I am selling the other pieces. I love antiques and some vintage but nowhere left in my home to put them...so this way I can feed my addiction for shopping for them and make some money lol

LOL !!  Watch it Jacon4 !!  I can be an ornery little Texan at times !!   :D

Not a bad price !! Would have been lucky to get $75. here !!  Many sell for way less than that !!  I  still have several pieces of the Duncan Phyfe repro furniture in storage !!  Had it in my Living room and dining room at one time many moons ago !!

No thanks Jacon4 !!  Was burnt out on it then and still do not want it !!

Neat! glad someone is making a little money on old furniture, dealers i know have been in pain awhile now as far as brown furniture is concerned. I am a collector so i don't have a dog in that fight but prices have been poor for a number of years now, sooner or later they will come back i predict.

Prices on painted furniture "shabby chic" are up around 200% in my area. I do some of that and put on consignment at local shop. I get a good bit of it on Facebook online yard sales...for instance i got the antique parlor table and chest on my other post for $85 total.

Great price you got for that table!  Wouldn't have gotten that in Dallas/FW unless it was in a store front!

I've heard Facebook online yard sales how does that work? I have been planning a real yard sale this coming weekend and I've been killing myself .  I live in a condo which doesn't allow you to have Yardsales so I'm been transporting everything to my dads house.
