Designer Occasional Table Appraisal

Ornate Decorative Occasional Table with Glass Center Panel

This appears to be a highly decorative, possibly vintage or antique-inspired, occasional table, likely a lamp table or end table. Its construction features a rich, dark surface with a distinctive gold mottled or crackle pattern, giving the appearance of marble or a highly stylized finish. The table top is further embellished with an ornate, cast metal insert under a central glass panel. This metal insert is circular with radiating arms, featuring intricate scrollwork and classical motifs, possibly cast bronze or a brass-finished metal. The outer edge of the tabletop is a wide, gold-colored frame, intricately carved or molded with shell and scroll designs at intervals, particularly at what appear to be the corners of a quatrefoil-like shape, suggesting a scalloped or multifaceted silhouette for the top. The gold finish on the frame seems to have a slightly distressed or antiqued patina, adding to its aged aesthetic. The overall style suggests a Victorian, Rococo Revival, or possibly an ornate Neo-classical influence. There are visible dust and some minor surface inconsistencies on the glass, but no major cracks or chips are immediately apparent. The intricate details and multi-material construction indicate a piece designed for aesthetic appeal and quality craftsmanship, likely machine-made with hand-finished elements to achieve its decorative effect. The dark and gold coloration suggests it would complement a richly furnished interior.
