PLEASE HELP
My coffee table was purchased by my parents when they married in 1959. I do not know if they purchased it new or used. There was a companion piece which was a taller end table but did not have a glass top. My coffee table is entirely carved with the exception of the top which has a oval inset with carved roses. The ends of the coffee table has a sort of raised lip which is carved as well. My Mother's favorite was oak but I cannot tell if this is oak or maybe rosewood. It is 19 inches wide by 3 feet in length. It is aprox 17 1/2 inches in height. The oval inset of roses is 8 inches wide by 15 1/2 in length. I can take a picture and e-mail it if that would help. I lived in Huntsville, AL and was required to have my antique furniture appraised for my homeowners insurance. The appraiser who was there strictly to appraise my household contents told me he saw a coffee table go up on the auction block like mine for $11,000. The man was there to appraise my furniture so he had no reason to lie to me. I keep my table in my bedroom in a safe location to prevent any type of accident or harm especially since it has it's original glass top with the bevel around the edges. I am updating my insurance as well in Mississippi for household contents and would love to know the true value and history behind my inherited family piece. Also, any information you could give me on a site to look up Italian Tole Iron Lamps would be greatly appreciated. I have a pair of tulip lamps and below the shade it has a candle which I've been unable to locate any that look similar. Please let me know if pictures of my coffee table would assist you in anyway. Thank you so much for helping my figure out my coffee table mystery... Sincerely, Aprile Smith 601.317.4817 cell
