<p>[QUOTE="Jesse Cooper, post: 1664825, member: 14134"]I purchased this table at a yard sale for $10 a few months ago from a woman at church who stated that the table was 10 years old when she received it from her sister in 1954 (age taken with a grain of salt). I am new to this and have so many questions! To my extremely untrained eye it appears to be a French Provincial piece but it’s a sewing table and I thought that combination a bit odd and possibly an alteration to the table’s original form. Just wanted to see if any of y’all could maybe help me with identification of the style, wood type and possible age. I checked for stamps but unfortunately someone had painted it black at one point and the only visible stamp was black brick lettering on the bottom that simply states, “ACCEPTED”. Thanks for the help in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]235189[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]235190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]235191[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]235192[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
