wicker table

[Raven31557]

This table is at least from the 1950's, if not older.
It is 31"H
The table top is 3' x 2'
Really good cond. besides needing new paint!!

*bump*

Does anyone know of a good web site to see how old this table is and its possible value?

[mart]

Is it in good condition ??

[Raven31557]

Yes, it is.
Except for the boring color.

Hi Raven,

It is very typical of wicker from 1910 to 1920.  1950's used more rattan which is much thicker and more Asian in styling.

I think its older too !!  If the frame is bentwood maybe $300. or so !!

Nice find, Raven!

[Rauville]

Can you make out anything on that painted over paper label?

One of the top manufacturers of that time was Heywood Wakefield.

I love those old pieces!  I agree your looks like the style from around 1900. 

[Raven31557]

Nice find, Raven!

hehe
I didn't find it.
I grew up playing at it.
 

I also have an ashtray stand, a small desk & chair, and a 3-shelf etagere/bookcase? also.
They're buried, so pics later.
Maybe one of those has a label I can read.

Can you make out anything on that painted over paper label?

No. 

[mart]

Is that oil paint  or latex ??  If latex,, try a steaming hot, just damp, washcloth folded into 4ths and lay it over the label about 10 minutes !!  Then rub gently with the cloth and see if the paint comes off !! It may take enough off to read the label !!

[Raven31557]

Ahh.
Great tip!!
I'll try that.

It is indeed from the first half of the 1900s.

I got it evaluated....
This elegant wicker table is in nice condition. These pieces are admired but auction house prices remain disappointingly modest under the current market conditions.

$50 - $80 only.
I'll keep it.

If you were in my neck of the woods it would go a little higher $ and even more-so if it was natural color.

Still many years of enjoyment for it/you!
