A while ago I had asked for help in identifying this table for the purpose of possibly selling and being able to describe it properly in a listing. Since then an appraiser gave me the following information and I thought those of you who had commented on it earlier might like to know what was said.

These tables are late 19th-early 20th C. Most were Italian, Swiss or German, some made in the U.S., but the old print scraps look like partial German words.
They auction for $200-450, and retail for about $750-900. Style is 18th-19th C, but the construction--especially the screws holding the frame for the top--put it to around 1900 + or -

I'm still unsure what I'll do with it but don't need to make any hasty decisions. It's a small enough piece and easy enough to move (and certainly beautiful) so I'll probably keep it at least for now and see if it can integrate into a smaller, more casual future home.
