Two Drawer Antiquevintage Side Table Appraisal

Two-Drawer Antique/Vintage Side Table with Turned Legs and Casters

This item is an antique or vintage two-drawer side table, likely functioning as a nightstand or elegant occasional table. It appears to be constructed from a rich, reddish-brown wood, possibly mahogany or a similar dark-stained hardwood, exhibiting a distinct wood grain, especially on the drawer fronts (possibly crotch mahogany veneer or a figured grain pattern). The top surface is flat with a subtle rounded edge, showing some signs of wear and possibly water marks or discoloration in the form of a lighter, faded area near the front left. The table features two drawers, with the top drawer appearing to be a single, wider drawer, while the bottom drawer is also wide. Both drawers feature an inset panel design, adding depth and shadow lines. The pulls on the bottom drawer are round, ornamental, and possibly made of glass or an early form of pressed metal with a decorative pattern, displaying a silvery or patinated finish. The legs are turned, slender, and fluted or reeded at the top, transitioning to an unadorned lower section before terminating in casters with metal lion paw feet, indicative of furniture from the mid-19th century or early 20th century, possibly in the Empire or Victorian style. The overall finish shows a discernible patina consistent with age, with minor scuffs and surface wear visible, particularly on the edges and corners. There are no visible major cracks or structural damage from the provided angle, but the finish is not uniformly glossy, suggesting years of use and original finish wear. The construction appears solid, with no loose joints immediately evident, though the presence of modern electronics on top indicates it's still in active use.
