Obviously it's just collecting dust at your house so you should send it to me 😁

Not a clue about age or pedigree but it's a great little table.

I could find 15 places in my house for a handsome table such as yours. I really like it.

I think that style of spiral cut leg has a name, but I don't know it.

Saw a table for sale with that type legs and the seller gave the style a name I can't remember.

The dovetails are great. High quality stable wood.

"What are twisted legs on a table called?

Spiral Leg: It was revived yet again in the mid-19th century and used on many Victorian furniture pieces. Sprial legs are sometimes referenced as spiral-twist or barley-twist (especially in England)"

The ones on this side table are not typical Barley Twist legs though.

Thank you, all! I obviously have great taste. :)

Linda, I can’t even believe the bottom of the drawer — it’s beveled!

here’s a closeup

Here’s the back:

I saw a similar one for sale locally but someone bought it before I could. The asking price was lowered to only $100 which seemed a bargain. I mean it was vaguely similar. here is how the seller described it:

This antique cherry side table is from NY/New England, from the early to mid 1800's. The single drawer shows dovetail construction, with elegantly turned legs. Some discoloration on top as shown. Table measures 22.75" tall x 19" wide x 17.25" deep.

The drawer bottom is one piece of wood. In other words one very wide board. As it shrinks across the grain (the board length does not shrink, but it's width does) then you get that gap that opens up where the drawer bottom is supposed to meet the drawer front. My dresser had the same thing, which i eliminated by moving it forward and re-tacking at the rear. You can see there are very small nails at the very back of the drawer bottom

Wow, Michael, it never occurred to me about it being a solid board and shrinkage over time causing that gap. For reference, the top measures roughly 20“ x 20”.

Just gorgeous!

According to HowStuffWorks, "If a joint was dovetailed by hand, it has only a few dovetails, and they aren't exactly even; if it has closely spaced, precisely cut dovetails, it was machine-cut. Handmade dovetails almost always indicate a piece made before 1860. "

Party's table is older than Michael's. The legs called ":barley twist" were almost exclusivly British and more of a spiral twist than the first table. The bottom is called "chamfered" and is another indication of age of the piece.

I sort of "collect" this sort of little table.....she said guiltily! I have 2 single drawer ones in my bedroom and another a bit larger in the living room....as well as 2 with 2 drawers, one is mahogany and the rest are walnut. One has drop leaves! But the top has had some major repairs done. Paid $.50 for the table,s tripped the paint and had the top fixed. It was the turn-around pieces that hold the leaves when raised that spoke to me.

Yeah....I have a table problem!!
