Out picking yesterday and found this Ball and Claw foot table. The lady we got it from was around 90 years old, it's a nice old table that has lots of character, and we got it for a sweet bargain. It's going to look great in the living room!
Very nice find chevy59.
Does it look as if the finish is original or refinished? Regardless, nice pick. I agree, the table will make a beautiful addition to your living room. Did you see the Ball & Claw table I have on CW?
Nice table, sorry about the finish........
Thanks Officialfuel, MooreAntique, MMM, and cis2you! It's not the original finish, she probably won't win any beauty contests, but she's got character, and for only $60 bucks, I'm not complaining!
Sweet find. This is one case where refinishing would enhance the value. The last similar table I sold was refinished golden oak and I got close to a $1000.00 for it.
I have a feeling this is mahogany and not golden oak. Do you know?
The style, etc...
Thank you rocker-sd. Cis2you, I believe it to be oak from looking underneath it. I think someone back in the day painted this piece to match some mahogany furniture they may have had, my guess. Anyway thanks for looking!
Thank you Trukn20!
Thank you mammi.
I have one just like it with orginal finish and spiral legs. Great piece. Had ours three generations.
Beautiful table
This is a nice table. I recently picked up a similar set of legs. I'm working on designing a table top for it now. If its not too much trouble could you send me a picture of the way the legs are connected to the surface? My e-mail is: kg_850@yahoo.com
Thanks!
