    These have bounced around my family for quite a while and have been in storage in my basement for several years now. None of the previous owners want them and they really aren't my style. Would like to learn a bit more about them before making a decision on what to do. Thanks! IMG_1259.JPG IMG_1260.JPG

    These are French. My best guess is circa 1950. Hard to say without more pics. The porcelain medallions appear to be a decal transfer rather than hand painted.

    Dan Fennell, regarding your first photo -- what is "under" the piece of glass(?) or plexiglass(?) on the top?

    It "almost" looks like a "painting" on the wooden top. It also "almost" looks like it is a piece of "art" slipped under the glass/plexiglass.

    By any chance is there "marquetry" under the glass/plexiglass?

    No glass on top. Here's a couple more pictures.

    Thank you for the additional photo of the top. That is even lovelier than I first thought. ;)

    So is that marquetry or (a) painting on the top?

    Not my style either Dan......but they are very nice....look to be well made....and in great condition.........
    I'd say put em back in storage if you can , untill such time as prices rise for this style of item.

    With the marquetry on top, could this be Italian instead of French.
    Might be a little earlier than 50s. Maybe 40s.

    How far back do people in your family remember these in someone's home?
    Anyone have old photos?
