Saw marks placed at the right angle indicate that the fabricator crafted this piece in the 17th and 18th century. Coarse and irregular saw marks can be traced back to the late 16th century. Refectory dining tables, one of the known antiques, were popularized during the Victorian era to serve as a solution to demands of the modern family with a large seating capacity of up to twelve people. These are many factors that determine an antique table’s age and quality of craftsmanship.  It’s important to evaluate if there are signs of refinishing made as this lowers the value.
