[QUOTE="Alan, post: 173831, member: 2993"]Hi folks, I'm new to these forums and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction in identifying a table I bought recently. Basically it's oak, with hand carved lunettes on the top, carved decorative aprons and slightly splayed legs. I would think it was Jacobean were it not for the fact the base is attached to the legs via screws (albeit old looking ones). However, the screws seem to be 'out of place' in the circular holes in which they reside, so maybe they've been added at a later date to replace the original fastenings. I presume it's Victorian, but it's looks too old and 'hand made' to be a late Victorian Jacobean-revival table. Also it has a number, 9795, carved into the underside of the top - which doesn't mean anything to me. Consequently I'm a little stumped. If anyone has any ideas/pointers I'd really appreciate your comments. Thanking you in advance ... Alan[/QUOTE]
