The banding that has the floral design wouldn`t possibly be leather would it ?? It has the same patterning that many saddle makers use !! Or at least very similar !!

All wood. One draw in front in that floral design with a couple compartments and all lined with red velvet.

Well it certainly isn`t a common piece !!  It is classic Empire style but with the pics available its hard to say when it was made.  Could be early 1800`s or later revival piece !!  It looks to be a rather large banquet type table,, is it ??

About 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. But when you pull on back it extends. All the extenders are underneath on slides and are connected. Not sure what extended size is.
