Hi Hilary,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

While some Victorian cabinetmakers labeled their pieces, these often fell off or were removed but I've run this against a subscription database of labeled pieces and am not finding a sufficient match upon which to base an attribution.

You mention this is inlaid but I don't see that in these photos - typically, Victorian furniture was likely to be veneered rather than inlaid, and I see carving on the legs.

The market for these tables is very soft right now and ones with marble tops - which are more desirable but which yours doesn't have - usually bring prices ranging from $200 to $500 depending on condition. Without a marble top, this would be unlikely to sell for more than $100-150 unless there was some family provenance that increased interest and demand.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique Victorian carved walnut oval center table
American or English, mid 19th Century
The oval top with molded edges raised on four ring- and reel-turned supports over a carved down-curving four-leg base. Presumably unlabeled.
Height: 27 inches; width: 31 inches; depth: 22-1/4 inches
CONDITION: With wear commensurate to age and use.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$100-150*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
