It's a gift from my great uncle who was pretty wealthy. He said that was the most expensive piece of furniture he has, and he has some killer beautiful furniture. I can't find anything about this piece. No markings (manufacturer/artist/etc) except for the beautifully embossed crests. I lucked out and found this site while searching and found a member who has a similar table! The link is below.

I have the same exact table. What information did you find out about it? I dropped a picture in my profile.

I also have one of these tables which came back from South America at or near the end of WW2 by the father, who served in the military there, of a friend. This table looks the same in design, legs, brass head nails but the carvings are similar with the same Lima crest with KJ and REGUM EST HOC SIGMUN VERE. I'm positive this one is from Lima Peru but can't find any other info on it.
