Pair of Scalloped Edge End Tables

This is a pair of matching wooden end tables, each featuring a scalloped or pie-crust edge top and cabriole legs, indicative of a traditional or Queen Anne style. The tables appear to be constructed from a reddish-brown hardwood, possibly mahogany or cherry, with a glossy finish that shows signs of wear and surface imperfections. Each table has an oval-shaped top with distinctively carved, undulating edges that add a decorative flair. The legs are slender and elegantly curved, terminating in simple, unadorned feet. Both tables exhibit noticeable signs of use and exposure to the elements, including water rings, general surface scratches, and possible fading or discoloration of the finish, particularly evident as lighter patches or marks on the tabletops. One table shows a distinct circular water stain and what might be some residual adhesive or foreign material on its top surface, along with some lighter colored specks. Another table has a few small yellow flecks on its surface, which could be paint or debris. The overall condition suggests that they have been stored outdoors or in a non-climate-controlled environment for some time, leading to accelerated wear. No discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps are visible in the provided images. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced furniture of this style, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly from the 1950s to 1970s, making them vintage rather than antique. The construction appears to be solid, despite the surface wear.
