    Hello, recently purchased some older furniture an estate sale including this beautiful unique triangular drop leaf table. Started doing some research when I got home and it appears I have a "Mahogany Envelope Triangular Drop Leaf Table", which antique versions are quite valuable. Any advice as to how I can determine if it's a repro or antique, please? The table size is: 27 inches (w) x 27 inches (d) x 28 inches (h). Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Construction method - drawers, how is top attached & frame joined. Photos of the underside will tell much. The top is glued in sections... an antique would be a single board top most often.

    What I was going to say. Usually the more boards they use to make the top, the newer it is. A really old table made that way would be two boards, one being the drop leaf.
