From the photo- it looks like oak, though I can't tell if the top is veneer or solid. This piece was probably made by an American manufacture between 1890 and 1910 - or so. It's value depends on where you live, as oak in certain area's is not as popular as others. I'm out east, and it just goes for good used furniture value, and at auction, I could buy that table most any day for under $200.00, but I couldn't sell it for any more than $250.00, even cleaned up, and I'd have to wait awhile at that. It is a lovely piece though and it is the perfect little table for many uses, plants, lamps, whatever.
