Good morning, Brad,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. Your dating of this table is correct - I would say circa 1875-1900.
It's a very handsome and useful table and appears to be in very good condition. This style is not particularly popular but the fact that you have leaves and it can convert will make it more appealing on the auction market, should you elect to sell it. A few recent sales of similar table follow, to give you an idea of the market for this. I think your table compares favorably.
