I don't know its country of origin or what year it was made, but it was in the house (in her art studio, a gigantic space complete with an ancient wood scaffolding used for creating murals) in Cogslea, that she shared with better known early 20th century artist Violet Oakley. I believe the table is at least 100 years old partially because my great aunt did not move or acquire furniture during my lifetime, and I am now 75. Also partially because I have a copy of the appraisal my brother had done for the pieces he inherited, and they are all dated between the 1800s to no later than 1930. Visiting my great aunt Edith was like stepping back into an earlier century.

I also can remember seeing the table in her studio going back to the early 1960's, when it was used for literature during art programs and recitals that my great aunt organized. I have used the table as a desk since 1982. I am selling it because I need to create some space in my house and my adult kids don't want antiques.

I always thought the table was mahogany but someone recently informed it is oak. If someone who knows antiques can identify this piece more accurately it would be greatly appreciated! less

It needs to be refinished, which was likely never done. It has worn spots which I have tried to show in the photos and one scratch, but there are no cracks in the wood. The decorative pieces near the base on each side (4 total) were all broken off at some point. Two were re-glued and two remain unglued, sitting in place. I have included photos that show these pieces. In addition, while the top piece fits perfectly into the frame of the base, it has been screwed into the base for additional stability as I discovered when I had it moved to its present location 18 years ago. I have included a photo from underneath that shows how the top piece fits into the base and one of the screws. Also the only two choices under "table" were "legs" or "pedestal", but as it is a trestle table it does not have traditional "legs". PLEASE REFER TO THE PHOTOS. Not withstanding the above, everyone says it is a beautiful table. PLEASE NOTE that I will not pay for or arrange shipping. less
