I inherited this square top split pedestal table from my Grandparents. Tiny remnant of a label in photo 2. Family estimates 1920-30's. 45 inches square with 3 -10 inch leaves and feet have small caster wheels in the ball. I have not been able to find any identification regarding this type of leg based on the carving style. The turned up end looks like modified Louis XV 8, but I don't see anything this squared off. I'm not looking for value or to sell, just want to know more about the style and where it may have come from.

The foot is called a ball and claw foot. They come in different varieties. Yours is more square than some others.
The logo remnant looks like Stickley Bros. www.google.com/
Does it open....split pedestal? What does the underside look like?
I am still digging. Will post more as I find it.
Hi,
I guess I don't see the resemblance to the Stickley Bros label, it looks like there is a tag line that ends in the word "other" below the block "E". Also, there seems to be about 3 lines of text across the bottom of the label, the part I can read says " ed by ni" or perhaps it is "ed by ha" (hand?)
Yes, the table opens and has a single post in the middle. I've posted photos of it split with one leaf, the underside of the table, and an additional sticker that I found.
Thanks!
That second label is interesting! Never saw one like that before. It is very hard to read but looks like a warning to sell it as a set, is that accurate?
The Stickley label it resembles to me is on this site: www.legacymodern.com/
They used to identify their pieces by email history@stickley.com not sure if they still do. Can't hurt to try.
The additional pictures help! It is a very cool piece. I am going to continue to go through my resources and will post back if I find anything else.
Thanks!
Yes, the second label looks like it says "this plate (?) is part of set # (?). See that it is used with other parts of the same number. Would the maker have bought the "mechanics" of the expanding table from a factory then put on their own top and legs?
You may have a Franken table. Someone would need to see it in person to look at the construction. If you get it looked at, post back! My curousity is piqued!!
It is very difficult to guess who made this table.
I only found one square split pedestal dining table: www.worthpoint.com/
This type of foot is referred to as the Lincoln Roll Foot.
For example look at these Victorian Oak Split Pedestal Lincoln Roll Foot Dining Tables circa 1900: www.facebook.com/
You do have a really rare table. Mostly I've come across antique square split pedestal dining tables with claws.
The style of your antique square split pedestal dining table is Federal Style, but I would say it is Federal Empire Style. Empire designs strongly influenced the American Federal style.
The price of an antique Round Split Dining Table Oak on four carved legs, Early American, 1910 is US $ 950 www.ebay.com/
A friend of mine said the leg carving is Acanthus leaves and they were popular with Duncan Phyfe - however, none of the DP stuff I have seen has this blunt squared off look.
