Long Description
I have a Rebecca Motte solid mahogany console table. Â It is marked underneath on a label with the number 100. Â It is written underneath "100 - 88". Â There is a label underneath that has a picture of Rebecca Motte on it with a short biography. Â At the very bottom of this label it says GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. with a small insignia. Â I would say it is in "fair" condition. Â I have searched the Internet to find the exact same table, but could not find one. Â Could you tell me how much you think it is worth?
