    Can someone identify this 3 tiered brass table? Would like to know what I have and how old it might be?

    Second post is the same as the first.

    It appears to be a Victorian style brass table. It should be very heavy.

    Will need to see pictures of how it is bolted together in order to tell if it is old or repro. Can you lay it on the ground and take a picture of the underside where it is put together.

    Also a closeup straight on of the foot.

    Someone should be around in the morning to take a look.

    A whatnot. ;)

    These are usually Indian, but that doesn't look to have the usual motifs. Yes, more photos needed.

    Agree about needing more/better photos. Looks like it could be Chinese. Would not hazard a guess about age without more photos.

    You need a straight on shot. You seem to be tilting your camera/phone which distorts the picture.
    We need a better shot of this.

    I see gargoyles, not Asian dragons.
    Can you get another picture of this area the gargoyles are upside down.

    It is very heavy. If I had to guess, I'd say 35 to 50 pounds

    I don't get an Asian or Indian vibe.
    Personally, I think this is Victorian in style.
    I'm not sure if it is original or reproduction.
    The weight would make me think original.
    But I am not the furniture person.
    Wait for others to comment, now that you have better pictures.

    I think it may be French. Intricate, but not as florid and fussy as some Italian stuff. The motifs aren't British, but I can't be specific why not. ;)

    The new pics make all the difference. I also see European in origin and antique or nearly so. Nice piece.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Does anyone know of a European forum that might be able to give more information. Lots of antiques here in Missouri however nothing like this. This was inherited and I'd like to know more about it.
