thanks Mario ive just looked up some Aalto pieces i see he was designing in the 30s is this table likely to be from this period i had it down as 1950s but am no expert ? The other table came from the same house certainly unusual looking !! does have registered design stamped on the underside but cant make out the rest of it , many thanks for your help , Phil

can anyone advise me on where would be a good option to sell this table within the UK thinking maybe ebay and what sort of reserve price does it deserve ?

Seriously
It should find its market level on eBay- you have the neccessary information and good photos.
A reserve would just cost you money.
Oh, and definitely do no more than wax it.

thanks Robert i agree am not a fan of reserve fees but wouldnt want it to undersell but at the same time have no idea of value , after Marios advice i looked some up that had made around £1000 at auction, but appreciate this might not be the right model for that price ?

I'm Not Sure
Paulanna would know better than me..
But I'm sure eBay would yield the best results.
I like the other table too
What are the three letters on the printed mark- G P H ?

it looks like registerd design at top then maybe G P N the stamp mark is shaken slightly so difficult to see, looks like the paint underneath the white is original and is a putty or buff colour and the top cover is maybe added as looks like is black laminate underneath, certainly unusual looking have you ever come across anything like it ??
