<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 331445, member: 37"]Late Victorian. I think American. Maybe as early as 1880 but produced on in to the early 20th century. My great grandparents had furniture very similar to this that I know they purchased in 1900-01. Although it may be ebonized, it also could be old lacquer that has turned dark over time. I have seen a lot of nearly black furniture over the years that did not start out that way. Impossible to tell wood from these pics. I would call the creatures winged griffins. Dolphins would have fish tails and scales.</p><p><br /></p><p>Griffin </p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiMju7K0IzZAhXvs1kKHVjVCPQQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coylesauction.com%2FAucPreview%2FAP2010%2Fap052510.htm&psig=AOvVaw2e7xcBM5O8vK0t6EWPPBe-&ust=1517846371691011" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiMju7K0IzZAhXvs1kKHVjVCPQQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coylesauction.com%2FAucPreview%2FAP2010%2Fap052510.htm&psig=AOvVaw2e7xcBM5O8vK0t6EWPPBe-&ust=1517846371691011" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www.coylesauction.com/img/img2010/img052510/griffin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Dolphins</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj6upaf0YzZAhUkwVkKHVAEC5UQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.antiques-atlas.com%2Fantique%2Fcarved_dolphin_occasional_table%2Fas802a029&psig=AOvVaw2JCB1VmqLXqTSQt4mIPrE4&ust=1517846519234225" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj6upaf0YzZAhUkwVkKHVAEC5UQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.antiques-atlas.com%2Fantique%2Fcarved_dolphin_occasional_table%2Fas802a029&psig=AOvVaw2JCB1VmqLXqTSQt4mIPrE4&ust=1517846519234225" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://images.antiquesatlas.com/dealer-stock-images/fineanddecorative/Carved_Dolphin_Occasional_Tabl_as802a029b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
