I have received an old table as a gift, but I have no idea of its origin. Does anyone have any idea that could help me identify this table?
It has a glass removal top tray with 2 handles. I was told that its original owner was the first pharmacist to live in Texas and the table may have come for Europe.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, James

I would really need to see this table to determine an age but this style was very popular in the early 1900s. Without a label or name it is hard to say who made it and where. It is really a beauty.

Thank you for sharing.

Hi,

I have to agree, the table is a real beauty and I agree again with Michelle: without a label or a name it?s really very difficult to identify the origin. I found an excellent website on information on antique furniture and there are plenty of articles on how to identify them. Maybe you can check that website. I learnt that you can tell the age of the antique piece by looking at the type of furniture polish used. Here is the link for that article http://www.efi-costarica.com/antique-furniture-polish.html

I hope I helped!

I just read an article about 'antique' coffee tables let me see if I can find it and I will let you know what it says. Oddly enough a table very similar to yours was used in the article.
