Weird old table

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I have an old table that belonged to my great grandmother (I am 41 years old). It is rather plain in design with what can only be described as large knobs on the widely curved legs - thick legs. The top is a medium, maybe walnut, wood. The base is wood also and was painted grey. I decided to remove the paint and under the paint is a strange reddish type finish. This finish also appears around the edge of the table top. I have never seen this type table and just wonder if I should bother to continue removing the paint or just sell it and buy a new table, I am actually using it in my apartment. help?
