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.

I found this unique table and cannot find one picture or information anywhere on the internet to give me a clue on year, name, style, anything! It's 27 high so I think too high for a coffee table, a bit too low for a desk. Can anyone give me a clue?
Can you tell me what year this was made? It is stamped Mersman 8104. I bought it at a yard sale and I'm just curious?
Thank you.
The site has compiled all the questions concerning this table and all the best answers that people have given. If you go here you will find out the answers to this question and about the table.
My parents have it since the 60s. How can I find information on it?
The first Roman numeral is 1778. The second one is 1968. I think this table was manufactured in 1968 and replicated a style that was popular in 1778.
I have bought this beautiful gate leg drop leaf table, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me from which period it is from and what wood it could be made from. Thank you.
Looking for approximate age this table is. Bought at consignment store for $200 about 20 years ago.
From the images, you are showing here it is so hard to try and date this table. I am not seeing any type of mark except the one that seems to be in the metal piece on the underside of the table. We need some better images or even a name or some type of number. The table is in a very bad condition which makes it even harder to try and date or help you find out information about this table. I would suggest that you try again and take some really good photos of the table and visit an antique shop in your local area. Show them the pictures and ask them if they know anything about the table and about how old this table could be.
I have this old table. Can anyone tell me what it may, also its value? It is stamped with 01-09-22 and says Ligo made in Thailand.
Ligo is still sold today and this site has what looks to be your same set for sale at a reduced price in the high $800s:

Is yours new or newer? New and newer furniture is a lot like cars in that it depreciates the minute it is out of the store. Eventually it may come back in value when it becomes vintage.
If yours is new or newer, you can try to get 1/8 to 1/4 of current retail value which would be between $100 and $200.
Because they are still making this furniture style new, even if yours was a vintage set, the value would still be in that range.
Now there are lots of factors in selling furniture including supply and demand and where you are. A good furniture reseller in your town can give you an accurate bead on what the market is like where you are!
Post back with an update!
