Value of Imperial Side Table?

A wooden side table with a triangular shelf.Seeking an estimated value and wood type of this two tier end/side table 32 x32 inches. It's 26 inches high to top of second tier, 16 inches high for bottom tier. It's made by Imperial Furniture of Grand Rapids, MI. It was purchased in 50s or early 60s. I believe it's walnut or maple wood, please confirm wood type if you can. I checked around on various sites and couldn't locate one like this. So any help would be much appreciated. Thanks L

You have a Corner Table made by Imperial Furniture Co., Grand Rapids.
Model number 3384.

Imperial Furniture Company was founded in 1903 by F. Stuart Foote. Foote began working at his father's company, Grand Rapids Chair Co. and branched out to found Imperial. The company's products were mostly tables but they later added case pieces. www.incollect.com/.../imperial-furniture-co

After Foote's death, Bergsma Bros. acquired Imperial Furniture in 1954 or 1955 (depending on the source). One reference says that Bergsma Bros. operated the manufacturing facility until 1983, another says it closed in 1962.

Your table is from the 1940s or early 1950s.
French Provincial Style.

I found an identical table with model number 3384:
Mid Century Modern Imperial Large Corner Table Made In Grand Rapids in good used condition, measures 31.75" w x 31.75" d x 37" h

The identical table with model number 3384 was sold for $52.
Small tables are easier to sell, but still the price also depends on the demand in your area.
