Hi Tim,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Unless this has been refinished recently, it looks comparatively modern to me - 20th Century rather than late 19 Century or earlier.
The carving is quite nice and it's size works in its favor; at auction, this would have a fair-market value of $1,000-1,500.

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

A vintage Renaissance Revival style carved cherrywood refectory table or library desk,
Unattributed maker, mid 20th Century or later
Surmounted by a retangular top with wave-carved and molded edge above turned pendant drops, raised on two relief-carved double columns on carved and molded trestle bases, joined with a carved H-stretcher.
Height: 30 inches; Length: 72 inches; Depth: 30 inches
CONDITION: This table appears to be in good condition.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$ 1000-1500*
*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.
