Furniture Table Components Appraisal

Wooden Furniture Component (Table Base/Leg)

The item appears to be a wooden base or support component for a piece of furniture, likely a table given the 'Dinette' context provided. It is primarily made of light-colored wood, possibly beech or birch, exhibiting a fine grain pattern and a smooth finish. The visible portion is curved or rounded along one edge, suggesting it might be part of a circular or oval tabletop, or a leg component. The wood shows some signs of wear, including multiple white, chalky residue marks or water stains scattered across the surface, indicating past use and exposure to moisture. There are also two small, circular indentations and one drilled hole, which likely serve as attachment points for other furniture elements such as legs or a central column. The most distinct feature is a circular blue/green stamp mark on the surface. This stamp contains text: 'MADE IN YUGO' at the top arch, 'KLI' in an oval in the center, and '& LOGATEC' at the bottom arch, suggesting the item was manufactured by the company 'KLI' in Logatec, Yugoslavia. The stamp's clarity indicates it is an authentic manufacturer's mark. Based on the 'MADE IN YUGO' mark, the item likely dates from the period when Yugoslavia existed, which was from 1918 to 1992, specifically after World War II when such export marks became common, placing it in the mid-to-late 20th century. The visible construction suggests solid wood, indicative of quality craftsmanship typical of European furniture manufacturing during that era. The overall condition, besides the surface residue, seems structurally sound.
