Up for sale is a center table attributed to Pottier & Stymus by Heritage Auction Galleries. Circa 1870, this table includes Rosewood, ebonized and giltwood elements with marquetry inlay. The chalice in the stretcher is usually a good sign of a high-end maker such as Herter Brothers or in this case, Pottier & Stymus (attr. and unmarked). 29.75 inches high x 47.5 inches wide x 33 inches deep. Bidding starts at $3,750 and expected range is $15,000 to $25,000 though I don’t anticipate it to come near the higher end.
