Hi Ronald,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This is certainly an early 19th Century table; the Federal style featured squared straight legs from about 1800-1820, with rounded turned legs such as yours has between a bit later in the period, roughly 1820-1835. It's most likely to have been made in New England where cherry was plentiful.

The crack in the top is an unfortunate reality, and the legs may have been cut down at some point. I say this because these tables are usually around 30 inches in height and the bottom part of the foot looks like its a little shorter than they usually are. Both of these factors will, I'm afraid, negatively impact the value of this table, which in the current market would likely sell for between $300 and $500 at auction, if that.

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

An antique late Federal turned cherrywood dropleaf table

The rectangular top with rounded corners and hinged leaves supported by pivoting supports fitted to a frame raised on ring-turned and bulbous legs with knopped feet.
Height: 28-1/2 inches; length: 40-1/2 inches; width closed: 18-1/2 inches; width open: 43 inches
CONDITION: Split and repair to the top and possibly trimmed in height but otherwise this table appears to be in generally good condition, with wear commensurate to age and use.
PROVENANCE: Acquired from a garage/yard sale
$ 300-500*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
