Does anyone know anything more about my french table?
Thanks Officialfuel If you know more please say thanks john
I will tell you what I think....HONESTLY. It would look great next to my LaZboy for sure. Can I have it? :D
are you sure it's French? Many of these fern stands were made here in good ole USA during Victorian period.
This is true. Do you like it? So How can you tell other than design? Are there markings. Some are very similar
I have a similar one in the attic stored and if time permits, I will check it out today. I do know it is numbered and somehow marked on the underside. Someone painted mine white 40 years ago because the original brass/bronze had started to shale off. It is still in good physicak shape with what I believe to
be an onyx/granite top.
Yes maybe whe I go downstairs later I will look unde marble or granite whatever it is And look at it better Thank you you are so sweet for your remark SIS2you
TOYMAN, I just posted my iron fern stand so if you want to look at it and compare markings, etc... it may help you. Good luck.
I did not put the granite in mine but I have it and its in mint condition.
Yes Thank you so much Im going to look now.Im down stairs with my wife and It was so nice we opened the shop.Thank you cht anytime If you ere closser you could stop by.I always enjoy talking to you.Toyman
