    Estate Sale Furniture

    Saw this at an estate sale and was wondering if anyone knew what it might be worth.

    Has a marble top.

    your going to have to pull the draw out an take pics of the corner, bottom, an look it all over to see if it has a makers mark or company name on it... to me it has a look to be old but is more likely modern

    I agree with creeper71. It's probably a Victorian "Style" Marble Top Table w Lyre Harp Base. Even if it's not old it could still be worth a little bit if it's made by a well known quality furniture company

    I have an 1800's card table that appraised at $800-$900 (from photos & its history), they told me if I could find a makers mark on it it would be $3,500- $3,900 or so. The maker making his mark makes a big difference in how much money you make, so I need to look it over carefully now before I sell it.

    I saw this one on craigslist for $195 and looks near identical. It's missing the center tine of the lyre though.

    I think it's a Kimball.

    wow Diggum, I wouldn't have thought it would be that much.. I was thinking more in the range of 100-200

    I would think in a private sale $200 would be more realistic. The one Diggum linked to is a retail dealer and looks to be in perfect condition.

    That's why it says for sale and not "Sold".
