Found these 2 Victorian style lyre end tables in trash. Someone had broken the marble replaced the original rose handles with some modern metal ones and painted them black. I striped the paint and found beautiful mahogany, put some mahogany stain on them a light coat of poly, found some handles and had some new marble made, beautiful.

thanks everyone. Imagine what a great surprise to see that beautiful mahogany under all that black paint. I gave these tables to my son as a house warming gift, however I have seen them selling on ebay for as much as $350 each.
