Victorian Style Hexagon Parlor Table with Spindle Legs
Unbranded (Likely Grand Rapids mass-production manufacturer like Mersman or Imperial) · Furniture > Tables
Era / Decade
1920s-1940s Revival Era based on the spindle turning and Gothic-lite apron detailing.
Material
Mixed woods, likely mahogany or cherry veneer top with solid gumwood or poplar legs/apron and a dark stain finish.
Condition
Fair to Poor. Significant finish loss on the top surface, notable chips and scuffs along the sharp edges of the hexagon top, and potential missing finish on the leg spindles.
Demand Level
Moderate. High demand for 'fixer-upper' furniture among DIYers/flippers; lower demand for collectors in this specific unrestored condition.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$45.00 - $125.00 (Low end as-is; high end if refinished or painted)
Estimated Retail Value
$150.00 - $200.00 (Estimated original inflation-adjusted or modern high-end reproduction cost)
Comparable Sales
Similar unrestored 1930s parlor tables typically sell for $30-$50 at auction; fully restored or painted versions on Etsy/Marketplace can fetch $150-$225.
Description
Stately vintage hexagonal parlor or occasional table. Features a unique six-sided design with an inset wood grain pattern on top. The apron is decorated with arched trim and center medallions, supported by six elegant ring-turned spindle legs connected by a central x-stretcher for added stability.
Key Features
Unique hexagonal shape, intricate architectural apron, spindle legs, 'shabby chic' or 'dark academia' aesthetic potential, and high structural stability for its age.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence this is a genuine 20th-century revival piece rather than a modern replica, evidenced by the specific wear patterns and under-table construction joinery. No visible brand tags.
Flaws to Note
Significant surface wear and scratches on the top; edge chipping; finish is worn off in several spots on the legs; needs a full sand and refinish or a professional paint job.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local antique mall. Shipping would be cost-prohibitive due to the size and fragility of the spindle legs.
Selling Tips
Market this as a 'Project Piece' or 'Upcycle Opportunity.' Use keywords like 'Antique Parlor Table,' 'Gothic Revival,' and 'Spindle Leg.' If you fix the top with Howard Restor-A-Finish, you could double the price instantly. Clear photos of the top's damage are essential for a transparent sale.
