    Just interested in knowing the history of a few pieces of furniture from my husband’s family. Would anyone be willing to date these pieces for me? I have included pictures of a small round table, buffet, and table/chairs. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    Can't assist very much, but if the insert on the small round "table" is marble or another stone, it is probably a wine stand - cooler on top won't mark the stone as it would finished wood, and the shelf would be for glasses.

    The chairs and the sideboard could be late 1910s - early 1930s. First glance says the table MAY be older - but what do I know???? (except the wine stand - we had one like it years ago)

    I think Mansons nailed it. The wine stand looks later to me,maybe 1950s-60s,possibly Indonesian. The table looks more Empire ,maybe 1860s-70s,but Im terrible at dates so hopefully our furniture gurus will chime in.

    Thank you so much for your response. Wow, if that is the case for the table it’s definitely older than we thought. The table is definitely an interesting piece, never seen anything like it. The top is able turns 90 degrees and open up to a square shape (to seat 4), which will make it a very useful piece as well :)

    First table is a bit of an enigma. Agree that it is an import without too much age. Hard to say from where. India, Indonesia, Philippines? Walnut buffet is teens-20s. Chairs slightly later (20s-30s). Card table is probably circa 1880. Also looks to be walnut but a pic of top would help confirm.

    Thank you so much for your response! It was very helpful and it’s nice to finally know the history of these :) I have included pictures of it on top (folded and unfolded)

    Definitely walnut with single boards so confirms good age. Could well be a decade or two older than 1880.

    Or a decade or two newer than 1880. I haven't seen those hinges used on card tables until the later 1800's, so I wouldn't put it any older than 1880 and more likely somewhat newer. The legs also don't look earlier than late 1800's to me.
