Antique or modern Louis XIV table?

Louis XIV table

Hi,I found a table in an antique shop, Louis XIV style, but I don't know if it is really antique or if it is a modern reproduction. It is very beautiful, but I saw in e-bay items similar to it, but made post-1950. How can I recognize if it is 50 or 250 years old? I attached more photos to show it (not consider the object on it).

Thanks, Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Could you tell us what you have paid for the table?
It's difficult to say if this is real or not because you should look under the table top and look for a signature, type of wood, etc.

This style is reproduced in high quantities in Egypt right now and some dubious antique stores try to sell this furniture as "antique". So watch out.

Nevertheless it is a beautiful table!
