Hello! My name is Karen, and I'm a seller of furniture.

You have a beautiful table- just not what most people would be looking for. In general, our purchases are more of the modern sleek design style, -a style which fits with far more homes than your traditional styles of home decor. The same goes with the types of items we carry; we don't normally handle antiques or anything really old because it's kind of hard to re-sell them on the current market (that and it takes up space in our store and there's no guarantee they'll resell).

We do occasionally get those sorts of things though as donations from those moving out of state or those passing away who might need help

I can't see the middle to determine if it is a 1930s or 1940s model. The original ads for both describe these as Imperial (the brand) drum tables with Duncan phyfe style legs. They are known for their versatile nature and stately look and function. They sell in some parts of the country for $50 to $200. All depends on supply and demand in your town and the condition of your piece. Lovely piece!! Start high and take best offer!! Let us know how your sale goes.

You have Imperial Grand Rapids Mahogany Duncan Phyfe Style Drum Table with drawer.
Imperial Furniture Company operated out of Grand Rapids during the furniture boom from 1903-1954. The majority of their furniture was made from solid mahogany and based off of Duncan Phyfe reproductions.

The marking on your table was used from about 1939 onward (1939-1953) www.furniturecityhistory.org/.../imperial-furniture-co#moved
I looked through the 1950s catalogs, while Duncan Phyfe Style Drum Tables looked a little different

I think your table is from the 1940s.

You have model #1435, I have not been able to find the exact same model.
Imperial Grand Rapids Mahogany Duncan Phyfe Style Drum Table was sold in October 2021 for US $119.95 www.ebay.com/.../124051438604
Your table is not in perfect condition. I think the price is around $80-100. But the price depends on your area, as these tables are sold with local pickup only.

These will typically sell higher in an Antique Shop or Private sale compared to an auction. Check your local Antique Shops in the area to see what yours or one like it would sell for or has sold for, then you can decide to sell online or locally. Your geographic area plays a big role in what prices can be obtained. If you sell to a dealer, antique shop or resell shop you can expect to get about 30-40% of what it is worth since they have to resell the item.

There are some great sites you can sell from:
Craigslist
You can sell in your local area or a larger city near you with, it is free, and when they item sells the buyer picks it up.
Etsy
It is a great place to sell, you list Vintage Items, they can stay until they sell. Much like having a little store online.
Rubylane
It is a more upscale site where people sell more expensive items.
GoAntiques
It is on the same scale of Rubylane.
Amazon Market Place
ArtFire
Of course ebay
