What type of table is this? The feet are claw shaped.
Neat! You don't see these often. They are antique/vintage game tables. Drop tables fold down, game tables fold up.
The shape of the table would be considered carved. If there is an official name for it, it is gone from my brain.
This is a really neat piece! I am guessing by the legs it is from the 1930s-1950s, but I would need to really get underneath and take a look at the underside to get a better feel for what you have.
What do the hinges look like? The screws? Are the feet brass or some other metal?
It is a really neat piece. Are you asking to sell or just for your info?
You have an Imperial game table but the pictures do not show sufficient 'movements' of the table so there is no way to tell if the table turns/spins so that it is stable when you open the leaf.
Many people call this Duncan Phyfe style.
Does your table have a drawer that is 'open' when the top is turned?
I believe the claw feet may be metal and not wood?
You do not say that you are looking for current value but I believe this table may sell in the low hundreds.
There are a lot of vintage/antique game tables listed for sale but the Imperial tables do not appear to be in the high end field. I did find several similar styles listed for sale (only one sold listing) but if you review and read the descriptions you may get some ideas as to what is a good description and be sure to check the pictures because that is what sells furniture.
The following listings are not Imperial but similar game tables.

The following are Imperial game tables so you can see the similarity.

Hi! My parents have this flip top card table. I'm trying to find what manufacturer made it and if it might be worth restoring. It looks like it might be a Brandt Sheraton style based on what I see online but I have no confirmation positively. I would be happy to sand it and stain it, maybe replace the claw foot coverings, and add a few nails for support of the lower base of the drawer if that is the appropriate way to handle it.
Curious about style, best practices for restoration, if worthwhile to restore, and possible value for resale.
Thank you!
We would like to sell our pie crust table and are wondering what the value of it may be. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!
You have the date and the information on the bottom of this table. I would not list this table online to try and sell it on eBay or even Esty. I would go directly to an antique dealer and have them sell it for your. An auction house would be even better because they have the right clients that are willing to pay the right price for this table.
With a Charak you have a lovely and quite valuable piece!
Depending on where you are located, I have seen them sell for as low as $230 and as high as $1000 depending on condition and supply and demand.
If you are in a big city where there are few and they are highly sought after, you will get more, than where there are lots and low demand.
Unfortunately, most people will not pay you (a person) the higher amounts for a table...these prices are retail prices that are fetched at antique shops and auctions (real ones, not eBay ones).
I would never (and I am an active re-seller) sell a valuable piece of furniture on eBay. It is my preference because the fees are high and unless you have access to freight shipping, shipping something like this is very challenging and local pick up would be limited. You will get better exposure and better value with having a reputable auction house or antique dealer sell it for you. Yes, they take a percentage, but they command the values and the exposure to buyers.
Thanks for sharing your lovely piece!!
I am looking for info on this table and how it would be used.
This is a bit strange. It almost looks like 2 tables put on top of each other. Each one of the tables looks like a coffee table and both of them are in poor condition. Plus I do not see any tyep of marks on the bottom of the table so it is hard to say who has made this table. You might want to consider refinishing the tables and taking them apart to use them in your home. Like this the tables are way too high to be used in your living room. It almosts looks like they were made as a dinning table so a person could sit at them and not use them as a coffee table.
This was an odd trend of end tables made primarily in the 1940s. If you search two tier oval end table you will see many examples that are very similar. I believe it may be Maple with a dark stain. You would put a lamp on it and maybe a bowl of candy or magazines on the lower shelf.
I would think if it was one of the bigger brands it would have a mark underneath or metal tag. Often store brands had paper tags that fell off, which makes identifying it exactly very challenging.
If you are asking because you want to sell it, their value varies depending on supply and demand. I have seen them offered from 10.00 up to 100.00. Haven't seen one sell in years.
You could always start high, knowing best offer may be very low.
Hope this is what you need to know! Post back with an update!
My grandmother passed when I was 7, Im 33 now. My father gave me this table and Im just wondering where its from, how old it is and what it may be worth? It had 2 antique chairs with it but I'm not sure if it's part of the piece as the chairs have flowers carved into the frame and there aren't any flowers on the table. Hopefully, this is posted in the correct space and someone can give me some input as to where I should start in order to get information on this table.
I've looked all over it and can't find any markings or stamps. No manufacturer or date. Thanks in advance for any help and/or insight on this, and I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place or incorrectly.
