Any input would be appreciated- thank you!!
Re: Unique table that my father left me-
Ive inherited same table....it may be 60+ yrs old considering my Grandmother had it when my mother was a child. It even survived a house fire...my grandfather painted it black after that. It came with 2 tools also. A small shovel and spoon. Im assuming the brazzier(bowl in middle of table)was used for burning coals or small fire. Hopefully i will find out who made these and when.

Re: Unique table that my father left me-
I bought one like it at a yard sale. It had been painted. My husband thinks it may have been something to do with the beach and an oyster table. Mine also has the two tools but it has a wooded base with wooded twisted legs. These are the only two that I have been able to find. It's a very cool peice though.
Re: Unique table that my father left me-
It's in the Spanish Revival style, which has been revived a couple of times, the last during the 1950's. This piece dates from that era, the bowl in the center is a brazier. These were generally used on patio's and decks, no huge value, we'd retail a comparable for about $350.00.
