First item up for identification!

[Omega Entity]

First up is what I believe is a round Victorian-style claw-foot pedestal table. I was told that it was taken out of a hotel scheduled for demolition up in Torch Lake, Michigan, and is at the least 100 years old, possibly 150 years. I was told it's oak, but it seems to be too dark a wood to me. then again, I know little to nothing about the types of wood!

Measurements:

51" Diameter tabletop

29 1/2" High

It has 4 leaves, 12" in width with it. Pictures below:

Welcome to the forum , Omega Entity .

Your heavy-duty table does appear to be made of (mainly) quarter-sawn oak , and shows some signs of having some (or a variety of) finish repairs .

Looks like a heavy ole' dude !

[Omega Entity]

It's definitely a sturdy piece! From what I've looked at in the Google image search, the feet are really unique, as far as how they're attached to the actual table. Most look like they're just slapped on the column, but these ones are shaped to flow more naturally in.

[fancypants]

Yes , the base/feet were designed to be very stable , with alot of square inches on the ground . !

I agree it looks like oak, stained dark.

It's confirmed that I know nothing about types of wood, lol ^_^;;

Table has some condition issues.

[Omega Entity]

Those would likely have happened before coming into the possession of my boss, as I believe it was in a dining room/bar of a hotel. She and her husband are both very fastidious people, and so I can't see the damage happening while they owned it.

A great looking table, solid oak and not veneered. A "high buck" one.

I would preserve the natural wear, tear and patina and thus I would say that all it needs is a light polishing with Old English "dark" Furniture Polish. Of course you have to decide what your preference is.

I think it is worth just as much or maybe more the way it is .... as it would be if you "fixed it up".

It's style is from the Empire period. look's to be 1920's. with condition problems. it would be pushing to get $350.00 Dollars at auction. it is tiger oak.

[gingertomantiques]

Agree with d&b
late Victorian Tiger Oak would date it circa 1890,s because of style of feet. Value UK because it needs restoration, auction estimate £150 - £250

Alright, thank you for the help!

I actually like the piece....needs some TLC.  Agree on the value!

[Omega Entity]

Well, it's up for grabs, if you really want it ;-)
