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

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

Nice find, Raven!

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

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.

No. :(

Post by: mart on February 22, 2017, 08:30:03 AM: 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 !!

Great tip!!
I'll try that.
;D

Post by: Raven31557 on May 27, 2017, 12:49:06 PM: 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.

Post by: KC on May 27, 2017, 01:29:01 PM: 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!

Post by: mart on May 27, 2017, 02:01:32 PM: I would keep all the wicker !!

Post by: Raven31557 on May 28, 2017, 03:42:36 PM: I kinda thought it should be worth more, but I wouldn't sell it anyway.
It's too unique.
and I love it.
Many memories attached.
