Thank you for your response! Are you able to tell about how old it might be based off type of wood?

1920s to 1940s would be a reasonable timeframe.

Way off, very late '90s to 1915.. by the 20s it would be mahogany or mahogany veneer for this pseudo highly derivative Neo baroque frenchified style wannabe.. by the 30s this kind of furniture would vanish And by the 40s and 50s be In the second hand shop if not even earlier.

Nah...loads of oak in 1940's. Most draw leaf dining tables from 1940's are oak.

Not 2 ft wide panels quarter sawn, no way. Solid oak glued up, stickley style, absolutely all day long. Indeed plenty of oak, solid oak

I didn't say the tables were quarter sawn. You just said furniture after 1920's would be mahogany or veneer. Just commenting as 1940's and oak go pretty much hand in hand for a lot of furniture.
