Pedestal Accent Table Appraisal

Round Pedestal Accent Table with Inlaid/Gilded Top

This item is a round accent table featuring a distinctive pedestal base and an elaborately decorated tabletop. The table appears to be constructed primarily of wood, finished in a dark, likely mahogany or espresso-stained, hue. The round tabletop is encircled by a raised lip, holding a panel that is richly adorned with what appears to be an intricate inlaid or gilded design. The central motif is a complex geometric star or floral pattern, from which radiating lines and segmented shapes extend outwards to an ornate border. The decorative elements seem to incorporate gold-toned metallic leaf or crushed material, possibly under a clear resin or glass surface, providing a textural and shimmering effect. The overall color palette of the tabletop design is gold and brown against a lighter, perhaps cream or beige, background. The pedestal base is composed of a substantial turned shaft that widens at the bottom into three splayed, scrolled feet, providing stability. The finish on the wooden components appears consistent, suggesting original construction. There are no immediately obvious significant condition issues such as major chips, cracks, or repairs, though the resolution of the image makes it difficult to ascertain minor wear or scratches on the dark wood or the surface of the tabletop. The design aesthetic suggests a traditional, possibly Art Deco, or revival style, potentially dating from the mid-20th century. The craftsmanship, particularly the detailed tabletop, indicates a piece intended for decorative accent rather than heavy utility.
