Unusual music table

Post by stetam »

Was looking for an appropriate table to display a cylinder machine and was lucky enough to pick this one up for $18. 1920s? 30s?

Duncan Phyfe style table. Thirties through 50's.

Pretty table. I would be leery of putting any kind of heavy cylinder machine on it. It looks too spindly. I would worry, especially if it had a tilt top.

Seconded. Those things are usually lightweight and flimsy, especially when the wood and glue have all dried out. Lay your records on it, and that's about it.
