You need to know who made the table. Look underneath for markings

It's an interesting piece. If I were playing detective based on being wrapped in 1967 newspaper, I would think it was probably an older piece some one was tired of...so subtract 20 years or so and I would say it is a 1940s piece, pre mid century modern because true mcm would not have the gingerbread sides, but it has clean lines on the sides.

I say this because I doubt someone would wrap a newer piece (1967) and stuff it in the attic, but stranger things have been known to happen :)

Or if it was a hoarder who had 1967 paper laying around last year it could be new? But again I doubt that theory!

The Monk or Columbo in me would have an antique dealer look at it and see if they can you any history and a value if you don't find any markings. Technically if it is 1940s it is not an antique, but the store owner is still a great resource!

If you find markings on the underside, please post them and I can help you value it. Without more info it is hard to set a value. Neat item! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice looking table.
Without a name or marking it would be very difficult for a lay person to place a value on vintage/antique furniture as we have nothing to compare it with. You may search everywhere for a very long time and probably never see an identical table. Even if a similar table were found it would not mean the value would be the same.

  • Your table is a coffee table and looks to be in very good condition which means a lot when it comes to value and especially the value of an antique or vintage piece.
  • If you cannot find any name or markings on your table I would suggest you ask for an appraisal as they may be able to date it and even supply a maker's name.
  • Here is a site that has several listings for free appraisals so if you are really interested you can ask for information from several.
  • You will need several good pictures showing all details of the piece as well as measurements. Ask for a retail value. This information you receive will be well worth your time.
