Accurate Description of Item
One Duncan Phyfe Drop Leaf Table
Appraiser Remarks
Your table is a 'Federal Revival' Style piece made during the second quarter of the 20th Century. Federal Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Federal style furniture first produced from 1780-1820. The Federal Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial and Federal styles from the Jacobean to Duncan Phyfe. The style reached it's peak of popularity during the mid 1920's, but pieces of this type remain in production to this day. Tables of this type were produced in huge numbers in mahogany they were also made using in walnut, maple, and cherry. For this reason their values today are very modest, often selling at yard sales and auctions for less than $100.00.
