Heavy wood table with carved inset panel and metal brackets on the corners. It is similar to the one in the photo, but in better condition without the dark brown/black band on the top rim. The actual table is in storage and I cannot access it to take a photo. For now, I have only the image submitted of a similar item, no additional photos of the real item.
unknown, but I think it is 1960s or 70s, perhaps made in the Philippines or Asia. I had it appraised about 10 years ago. The appraisal was $5,000 and the appraiser said it was made for export or for tourists, I can't remember. The carved inset is pretty, but the bottom of the table has visible glue and nails. Just looking for a very ball park value until I can submit photos of the actual table.
Hi Judith,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I suspect the appraisal you received was for insurance, which is a much higher value than the fair-market values Mearto provides. At auction, the table in the photo would have an estimate of $500-800.
Without dimensions and a photograph of the actual table, this is a CONDITIONAL appraisal and is subject to revision pending additional information and photos.
