marble top night stands
by mary
(sacramento california)
I purchased these 2 tables in the 1970's in Dallas at a warehouse full of English imported antiques for $500 each. At the time, the price was high for me, but I was drawn to the unusual legs and the beautiful, yet simple carving on the fronts, corners, and sides.
the knobs are not original, there is a chip on the back edge of one marble top and one of the doors has a slight gap when closed due to the slightly warped door. otherwise both are in very good condition.
there is a paper tag glued to the back which looks like a shipping label:
u.k. Hof-Spediteur
R. Perl-Wien
Centrale:L. Makartgasse 3 Filiale: VII., Dreilaufergasse 7
Gescraflsabtheiling Verwaltungdereigenen Lagerhauser
speciell fur Wohrungsei...chtungen IV.,
Goldeggrasse, 6&VII. Pfeilgrasse 2.
can you please tell me
1. type of wood
2. approximate date
3. country of origin of maker and name of maker
4. approximate value per piece if for sale by owner in California
i have more pictures if that will help
thank you very much
