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. It seems it was particularly popular as a bit of a "counter" to modern midcentury design in the 1950s. I hope someone else can provide you with general pricing guidelines; it is a truly beautiful table.
It is a pretty table. Without markings it will be very hard to identify it. Look underneath it.
Can you please tell me where you are located?
How old are/were your grandparents? That will help date the piece. I have young friends who are grandparents in their 40s and 50s with 20 something year old grandkids so that is a little different than if your grandparents were born in the 1800s!
Also, can you tell me, is the floral part glass, enamel, marble? Does it lift out? Does it feel rough (like it was hand painted) or is it smooth like it was manufactured?
Hopefully with more info I can assist! Thanks!
They would be in there 90s now. It does lift out and its all definitely painted on and looks like it has gold leaf paper in it also. Thank you for your help.
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!
Such a beautiful table. This table appears somewhat similar to your table:
