I have an antique North Wind oak parlor table and I can't seem to find much info about it.  Can anyone help?  It has claw feet with the face of the north wind on them.  It is a square, light oak table about 3 ft high and 2 1/2 feet square.  Exact measurements can follow.  I'd like to know how much it is worth.  It is in good condition with a small crack in the top.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Many people have asked me what Northwind / North Wind furniture is.

The attached photo shows the North Wind design. This design was carved in to furniture of all types to ward off evil spirits. This chair is in the 15th century Italian Renaissance style but was probably crafted in 1800's - early 1900's.

The poster of this question never posted a photo of their table so I wanted to respond as far as the North Wind furniture style using a photo that was emailed to me some years ago.
