I purchased this coffee table at my local architectural clearing house. It has no identifying marks and I've tried the reverse image search with no success. The sides are carved with errors in the repeated patterns that imply handmade. The bottom has no identifying marks but you can see the construction, which appears to be glued.
There is a glass top, not pictured, that looks like it may have been added afterwards. It does show that the table top is not geometrically perfect. Anyone find a similar table? Any idea who could have made this?
This table is fairly similar and was made in France and is priced @ $600.

I got this coffee table from my grandparents. I was hoping someone could help me find out how old it is and maybe where it was made. It doesn't have any labeling on it. Any information on it would be greatly appreciated.
I believe this is a Louis XVI Style "cocktail" table with Florentine decoration (at least as far as design and colors...too hard to make out in terms of the materials, but marble would be awesome). This style is a classic, so always in demand.
Thanks for the info. I am speculating that the piece had a glass or marble top that broke and the piece there now is after market. Or that it may have been updated to make it a fashion statement.
There is a Facebook group called Identify My Antiques that I am going to defer this to. You have to ask to join and answer a few questions and then they can help. If I don't see their answer, please post back with what you learn. This is where I go when I need to learn about things that may be altered because they have lived long and well loved lives!
Thanks for sharing!
I got this table and I would really like to know it's worth. It feels heavy so I know it's iron. The glass weighs a lot.
It's about 3 foot 5 inches wide, very thick and heavy.
The price of a wrought iron full dining set can easily top $1,000, cheaper prices can indicate cast iron. Vintage cast iron furniture was made by pouring molten iron into a mold and allowing it to harden. When the piece is cool, the manufacturer would open the mold to remove it, and the end piece usually has telltale mold lines that speak to its cast nature. This is not so for wrought iron furniture. It is made of iron, but it was "wrought" by a blacksmith and was never in a mold. antiques.lovetoknow.com/
Wrought iron pieces are heavy and are prone to rusting, especially if they are not regularly protected with paint or varnish.
Wrought iron was "wrought" by a blacksmith, and it often has hammer marks or other signs of work in the surface of the metal. If the surface is rough but uniform, it may be cast iron or steel instead.
Many wrought iron pieces were handmade by blacksmiths and may not bear a maker's mark or other identifying information.
Because pieces are often unmarked, looking at pattern books can help. Antique wrought iron restoration company Iron Renaissance has catalogs of the patterns used by many of the most coveted manufacturers.

Your table has twisted iron frame. Here is an example of a table with twisted wrought iron frame:
Elegant Vintage Wrought Iron Coffee Table with a Glass Top with twisted frame is listed at $960, was $1,200
What kind of coffee table is this? I can't find the name of it. It seems like it could be antique.
Your table style is Windsor. Examples of Windsor tables: www.anfiluxury.com/
Your table is in very good condition. Antique (possibly re-painted) or non-antique table, it is difficult to identify from photographs. The label is clearly not antique. It says ANTQ - ANTIQUE, but it may just refer to antique white color. For example, there are Windsor Antique White Carved Wood furniture by International Caravan www.internationalcaravan.com/
You have Carved Windsor style Glass Top Coffee Table.
Since there is no manufacturer's label, then I think that it is almost impossible to find out who made it. Examine all parts carefully, slight differences in size or shape are not always easy to spot. A real antique is not perfectly cut, a reproduction with the same components is, because it was cut by machine.
Does anyone know anything about this table? It is very unique. All the nail headsare hand forged and each one is unique.
Thank you.
Wow! That is gorgeous! It looks hand hewn. Oak or pine? Hard to tell by photo.
What do you about it? Has it been in the family for years? Where there craftsman in the family? Does the town where you purchased it have a history of creating hand made furniture? Do you know the age? Does it have any markings? How big is it? Is the top rough or smooth? How are the legs affixed?
It is very hard from a photo to figure it all out.
It will need to be looked at in person to determine if it is a late 1800s piece or something a really talented woodworker built recently. I have a craftsman friend who builds pieces with reclaimed wood and antique nails that are along the lines of this piece.
Because there are so many variables and things I can't feel or examine from a photo, having it reviewed by a reputable antique dealer, in person, can get you started.
Post back with what you learn about this breathtaking piece!
I'd appreciate a hand identifying the origin and rough date (and perhaps restored value?) of a coffee and side table set I stumbled across. The set I have is in pieces and in need of a fair amount of TLC (see pic).
That said, I did manage to find pictures online (without any identification, unfortunately) of what appears to be the same table in much better condition and those pictures are attached.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I bought this at yard sale. Who made this coffee table and is it worth?
That is a beautifully sculpted coffee table but unfortunately, I am not seeing a signature on the top of the table. The only way to determine who has made the table is to check the table for any type of markings or signature. This will make it a lot easier for us to search online for the company or artist who has made this table. Once you find out the name if there is one can you let us know.
Hi,
This is a beautiful coffee table, with the intricate wood carvings. I would not take less than $200.00 for this. It is very nice and will definitely be a focus point of any living room.
Have a wonderful day!

I found this old coffee table and wanted to know what period of time it was made and how much it's possibly worth
Can anyone tell me anything about these two tables? I have tried to Google search them I can't find nothing on them.
They have no markings or stamps on them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Interesting! It looks hand made. There is an artist, who I believe is still alive and this looks a lot like his work:

Maybe he can help you, if it is not or if it is!!
Post back what you learn!
