Looks like an episode of Antiques Roadshow waiting to happen : )

I agree with Dennis. Most likely India.

I tend to think along the lines of Blackcherry. My guess is Moroccan. But I’m not certain how that fits in with the Star of David on each side.

When you find out, what do we win if we’re right? :>)

I would doubt this is Indian in origin. Most designs that I have seen in India don’t use the motifs I see on this piece.

But then, what do I really know?

I saw the star of David too. It makes me think of somewhere around the Mediterraniean, eastern interior. The leg design looks to be like some that I’ve seen from either Israel, Iran, India, Turkey or Pakistan. It doesn’t look like it would be Russian or African, Chinese or Micronesian. I’ve googled it to death, can’t find anything there…

actually it looks Nordic to me.

Colin I shot off a email to a member of the lumberjock community in Portugal he is a furniture restorer and I believe that he may be able to help ID this piece….Blkcherry

Hi Colin, this is a strange peace, the shape of the table looks from Northern Africa, but the carving work is not like northern African, remember my Nordic carving. Is possible this table bin made in Britain, for another way, In Morocco, they use cedar wood to furniture construction for centuries, not Lime. During the 19th century was a tendency in Europe for make a kind of revival furniture from ancient edges like: Gothic, renascence, Indian, Chinese and so on. Sometimes the creators of this peaces dont follow exactly the ancient style, and create a kind of “hybrid” furniture, maybe this table is from those past time.
