Late Victorian circa 1900.
Picked up a pewter cigarette box today just like this one sold on ebay....
Apparently made for a lot of years in various configurations ...... [ATTACH]
Older than I thought ...... [ATTACH]
Modern decorative item made to look old with applied patina or left outside for a year or two. Probably made in India.
These are both unusual. Both would be considered demi-lune tables but not so similar otherwise. I'll deal with the second one first since it is...

Do you have more than one? Values go up for sets. Even so, $100.00 per chair is a price you can not achieve these days.
Wrote this yesterday but apparently got distracted and didn't post: Can't see the whole thing but seems to be a turn of the century press-back...
The auction prices are probably more realistic. I always envision what things will sell for in my market. Hard to drum up a different market for...
