This is an Antique American Renaissance Revival / Rococo Victorian oval marble-top parlor table, dating to circa 1870–1880.
Design & Construction Highlights
- Stylistic Attribution: This specific base design—featuring four dramatically splayed scroll legs decorated with foliate/acanthus leaf carvings, a prominent central turned finial, and a heavy molded apron—is heavily attributed to Thomas Brooks, a highly celebrated 19th-century New York cabinetmaker
- Wood Material: The base is constructed from solid American Walnut with a rich, dark original finish
- The Marble Top: It features a thick, detachable slab of white Carrara marble with a beautifully ogee-molded edge
- Hardware: The legs terminate in their original white porcelain or brass casters, a functional hallmark that allows heavy Victorian furniture to be moved easily across parlor carpets.
Because of its large size (38" width) and the highly carved, premium base attribution, it holds a stronger collector value than standard oval parlor tables.
