Just looking for information on this Tea Table. One exactly like it sold on ebay 20 years ago for $70,000 and I've been tryin to price and id this one since.
Sadly not $70,000 for this one. it's a early 20th Century mass produced piece, most of them made in Grand rapids Michigan, then the furniture capital of North America and sold through Mail Order catalogs. In its current condition these often sell for under $50.00.
Someone paid $70k for the antique original with provenance by a reputable dealer, a mass produced reproduction is going to sell for far, far less. Make sense?
Yes but how does anyone know if this one is a repro just from a photo? It has no markings. Also its in really good shape. Looks bad from where my grandmother painted it and we didn't quite get all the paint off legs. Thanks for reply.
Certainly my pleasure. I don't know where you saw that table for $70k, but if I were you and thought I had something that special I'd contact the dealer that sold it. Or find a reputable dealer where you live and see if they can identify what it is. (Large cities are where the best ones are.) Current condition will be an issue if in fact it's an antique. As is provenance. But leave it as it is, you don't want to damage it further.
The Barclay 8 Legged Tea Table adds timeless elegance with its intricate design and functionality. Meanwhile, the Slow Horses S03 River Cartwright Jacket offers a rugged yet sophisticated look for style enthusiasts. Which one do you prefer classic furniture or iconic fashion?
Love the contrast here! While the Barclay 8 Legged Tea Table adds elegance to your space, the Summit Ice Jacket keeps your outdoor look sharp and purposeful. Style meets functionality inside and out!
