Description:

An early-20th-century oak occasional table with an octagonal top featuring a sunburst-pattern quarter-sawn oak veneer panel within an applied octagonal molding edge. Supported by three turned oak legs joined by a shaped tri-form stretcher with a central ring; legs terminate with squared ankle blocks above turned feet. Medium brown finish; proportions and machine-turned symmetry align with factory-made Jacobean/Spanish Revival furnishings of the 1920s–1930s.

Curator Questions

Curated by Jade

Assessment:

Well-made revival-period side table likely produced in the U.S. between the World Wars. The octagonal, sunburst-veneered top and tri-leg base with shaped stretcher are hallmark details of Jacobean/Spanish Revival furniture popular in American interiors at that time. Condition appears sound with honest surface wear, suggesting period manufacture rather than a recent reproduction. A word about fakes.. revival furniture is widely reproduced; look for consistent machine turning, appropriate oxidation to underside and hardware (if any), and age-appropriate finish wear to confirm period production.

Identification Score: 85%

The octagonal sunburst oak top, three turned legs, and Y-shaped stretcher with central ring are textbook features of 1920s–30s Jacobean/Spanish Revival occasional tables made in the U.S. The construction and finish match that category closely.

Authenticity Score: 70%

Period-appropriate materials, finish sheen, and wear suggest 1920s–30s manufacture rather than a late 20th-century reproduction, but absence of a maker’s label and only one view prevent higher certainty. If underside oxidation, screw types, and stretcher joinery confirm early-20th-century methods, the score would increase.
