    Found this at an estate sale in an old mountain town in Colorado. Love the detail. Unsure of age yet.

      More images of the piece would help to evaluate overall condition. Your table is in the Eastlake style. Eastlake is a style of furniture which was popular from the 1870's to the 1890's, or late Victorian Period as a general time frame.

      The finish appears to be original, so a light cleaning would be good, but do not refinish it. The original finish is the most desirable to have on the table. If the overall condition is like the front of the table, it is a nice find that appears to be in reasonably good condition. The legs do appear to have been cut down, which you see occasionally on older tables.

      You can get a good wood/furniture cleaner to remove excessive grime on the table, and then apply a generous amount of orange oil, and the wood will appear nicer.

      Great find!!

      Welzebub. Thanks!!! Yes the overall finish is very good and similar to front. Once I clean up I will post a couple more pics so all can see

      Agree with welz-- looks to be eastlake and dates from the late 19th century.

      I don't see an indication of the legs being cut-- height looks right.

      Thanks for sharing.

      My comment was a type. I meant to say that I do not believe the legs have been cut down.... Sorry about that.
