Michael is right - Real Duncan Phyfe is RARE and VALUABLE
one big clue no one has mentioned about the coffee table in question is this - coffee tables didnt exist until the 1950's so folks sitting at home on their sofa could see the TV set over top of the table - werent many TV sets in the Federal Period ?, hu ? Secondarily, alot of grand old Victorian center tables have been cut down from their typical 30 inch height to accomodate modern TV viewing habits, kind of sad.
