    Found this table, it has rotating supports under the table leaves to support them. I want to use it as a card table but not if it is some valuable antique. IMG_1333.jpg IMG_1332.jpg IMG_1331.jpg

    Appears to be English Oak that someone has stripped and stained.
    1920s-40s would be my guess.

    Beautiful oak. Go ahead and use it as a card table; it's not worth so much that you should worry about it.

    Agree about being English in origin and dating seems spot-on.

    Yeah, as cluttered & ghopper said, not old or real valuable but still attractive and functional, kind of a modern day "Butterfly" table.
    Yeah, In colonial america during the 18th century, they had what is called a "butterfly" table that has similar supports, kinda cool looking i think.

    I agree. Born my side of the pond, post WW2 oak. Leg carving is a little unusual, and it's in nice condition.
