Heritage coffee/cocktail table with marble slab top.
Coffee or cocktail table with Heritage name engraved in drawer. One large drawer and heavy pink or rose marble slab on top. Marble slab about 60" long by 21" wide by 0.75" high. There is a bevel around the outside of the marble of about 0.5". Thus the bottom part of the marble that rests on the wooden table is about 1.0" greater in length than the top of the marble. The table that supports the marble top is of wood unknown to me. The table is in good condition, with no obvious damage, but it has not been especially shielded from harm. Casters on two of the wheels were loose and the might have disappeared by now since the two agents who worked on decluttering the home did not much discriminate much on what should be saved or dumped. There is also quite a bit of information and maintenance guidance references represented by handwritten alphanumeric scrawls written on the top of the table. You can read it off the photos. I think that my parents just bought this in a local department or furniture store near Washington suburb of Silver Springs, MD. Year 1957 a good guess.

This is not meant as a criticism of your appraisal, as Mr. Emanuel himself told me that demand for this type of furniture is low. It just illustrates how confusing all this is to one not in the know.

Hi William,
The marble is probably worth 2/3-3/4 the value of this table, with the frame correspondingly 1/2-1/4 the value. The numbers on the underside could reference the furniture line this was made in, the specific batch it was made or the maker who made it. Heritage does not make that information available online.

The table is attractive, with nice proportions, but rather plain, with no intricate wood carving. I don't know how to express this properly, but the color of the stained wood is not uniform. It swirls into slightly darker and lighter hues. No one would mistake the table for new, but I see no areas of damage that stand out. Here and there an edge or a spot of a few millimeters need a little treatment.
The drawer is not damaged. It still pulls in and out easily and we found it useful storage for stamps and stationery. The legs are all sturdily attached and the casters that may have gone from loose to tossed out are probably replaceable in a hardware store. They are there because the table is so heavy.

What is the relative value of the table to the marble top? Would the marble slab have greater value sitting on top of a new table?
A google search on "colonial revival style upholstered and carved mahogany wing armchair" certainly brings up a lot of chairs at some nice prices. And none, I think, as distinctive as my great wing chair .
