Noble Family Table
A ornately carved table. It can be parted in half, and perhaps used as accessory tables. I believe this may be a centre table or card table, based on listing I have seen in UK auction houses. Item is about approximately 35"w by 48"l and 29" height. Heavy ornately carved legs, center console. Brass caps on feet. I looks as though it may be "Victorian" era, circa mid 1800's.
We belief this item came from the home of John Ward Noble, and possible the home of his father Samuel Noble. Samuel Noble was born in England around 1834 but spent much of his life in the states. I believe he had lived in the Carolina's before moving to what is now Anniston, Alabama after the US civil war. He and Daniel Tyler were instrumental in founding Anniston, Alabama and various iron related industries in this area of Alabama. Family names related to him are Noble, Tyler, Quintard. It passed to the Perkins family prior to 1970's, possible in the 50"s. My family acquired this item in 1980 and have owned it to date. I think there is a strong likelihood this was a Noble family possession with possible origination in England, and imported by the family to Alabama.

This is an early 20th century, about 1920 - 1930, American dining room suite expanding table that was made in the Renaissance and Baroque Revival style. This was a very popular decorator motif in homes throughout the US and most every furniture manufactory was producing dining room sets in variants of this style. There are quite number of Jacobean, Tudor, Renaissance and Baroque Revival furniture sets available on the market currently, given the generational shift and the preference for Mid-Cetnury Modern and Brutalist style furniture. The provenance, or purported history of past ownership, especially without hard evidence, really has no bearing on the value. As well, if the leaves extension leaves are not with this table, that will also impact the value. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.
