I wouldn't draw the conclusion that they are the same maker due to that one feature being similar.
Suspect your table is later-- additional photos should tell.

They aren't really similar. Would not count on it being Meeks.
Before I give in (for now), Scott mentioned my table not showing enough age, what does age look like? And, from my research, later period furniture makers moved away from using Rosewood in furniture production, my table is solid Rose wood (I had it verified), is that possible? Thank you both for such helpful information and your time is appreciated!
As wood ages, it darkens. Often you will find artificial age (when folks are trying to be deceptive) in the form of an applied stain.
The interior wood on your piece doesn't show much age-- it looks bright.

There are 2 kinds of rosewood....one Indonesian and the other from other more slow growing trees> It was very expensive and heavy. I see nothing about either of those tables that would "certify" that it was made of rose wood? Did they take a sample and do a test? I have seen maple that a dealer claimed was rosewood....when it was dyed a very reddish brown.
