[QUOTE="Antiquefan, post: 2117696, member: 14780"]My guess on date is 1900- 1920 later time period as the beading looks exactly like an add on I have seen on 1930's furniture. The finish (on the legs) looks like it was left in a cold basement or similar type placement and lived through hot and cold seasons creating the crackling like finish as mentioned above. I have a 1942 Gibson acoustic guitar that was left in an unheated attic in West Virginia, with no case, for some 50 plus years and has that finish on the top. It is ugly as the day is long but is so dry and cured it has the voice of the choir of angels from on high! Yours does not look ugly like my guitar, your table is beautiful, I have several mission oak pieces of furniture and love the look![/QUOTE]
