Title: Can anybody aide me in placing this serving table?
Post by: opugnant on June 03, 2009, 10:56:34 PM

I have spent hours and hours looking for it, and I have no idea where to even start.  I'm wondering if anybody has any clue of the worth, the history, the time placement, or anything else.  It belonged to my Great Grandmother and I've had a difficult time placing this piece.   There's always one hard antique when ever I'm looking to place them.



Thanks in advance!

Pic makes it seem the Victorian Era.

Since you didn't say...have to ask....any markings on it at all?

How are joints put together?

it has no marks, which is the strange and difficult part.
i don't feel or see any screws or nails, so i would assume glued.

D&b....I would have never guessed this as being French....and you know I am a French furniture nut!  Were many made in this style?  Of those that I have seen that are neoclassical style they didn't have representations like this! 

There is always something to learn!!!!
