It is a Duncan Phyfe STYLE table (NOT an actual DF piece as most of those are in museum).

It is most likely from the 1940s, based on the feet.

There is a slight chance it is a 1970s re-pro piece (it would need looked at in person by an expert who can see the construction and feel the heft of the piece).

Many brands made these and often when you see people selling them they just call them a Duncan Phyfe Side Table.

If you are looking to sell it, I can try to help you value it.

I can tell you furniture values are regional, so it would be general guidance. If you want something specific, I suggest asking around to vintage re-sellers in your town (shops) and asking how much it would cost to buy the piece in their shop.

That will give you retails for your town. If you, as a person, are selling it, you will get less than retail, but it can give you a good starting point.

Post back with an update!

Looks like a nice all around side table.
The claw feet would generally date it to the 40's but as Pghgirl stated it could be a later model just fashioned after the original Duncan Phyfe style.

It is particularly nice because it has the double stand where the majority of these tables only have the center stand with 3 to 4 legs.

Be sure you have checked all areas on the underside for any markings or even numbers.
If you decide to show pictures to someone when asking for information be sure to show pictures of the underside as this workmanship usually helps to date a table.

I have found a nice website that you can upload your pictures to and have a person appraise the table for you. According to the site you will upload your images, an appraiser will appraise your table, you can now ask him questions or download the appraisal.

The site does not say that you need to pay for the services. Please check it out and maybe they can help you out. mearto.com/.../antique-rocking-chairs

This is a good site to use but they do charge $19 for appraisals.
Usually well worth this amount of money.
