I'd like to know general value on this small side table. It's a Imperial Table from Imperial Furniture Co. circa 1920-1917. It has some watermarks but can probably be improved with care. It's very smooth and in solid condition, no cracks or breaks. Thanks for any help!

This will be difficult to value as the picture does not show the complete table.
Although this sticker/mark is oval there does not seem to be any information as to when or if Imperial ever used this label. I believe this label may have been used in the 20s-30s but there does not seem to be a true record of when.
"As most Imperial Tables manufactured between 1910 and 1917 were marked with the oval-shaped logo, it follows that this logo was likely used during the first quarter of the 20th century."
It would help if you could show a full picture of the underneath/bottom of the table. Also, is there a number anywhere on the bottom of the tabletop?
There are a lot of museum catalogs available for review, but I could not find a similar table.
The museum stated this catalog has pictures/descriptions of most of their tables through 1951.
You can check this out for yourself. Click on the catalog and then click on pages. You can click on any picture to enlarge or move up and down.

From the picture, it appears this table is for sale in a store, and you are asking about value with the intention of purchasing, so I do not know how much time you will have to obtain the information you're asking about.

I think your table is from the 1920s (1924, before 1927, since a different logo was used in 1927).
